Although the full strength of the epoxy is not achieved yet, yes you can remove the clamps and move them around a bit.

: I set my first scarf joints yesterday for the gunwales. I sealed
: the respective pieces with unthickened epoxy per recommendations
: of posters here. I used wood flour to thicken the epoxy for the
: joints (I wasn't sure what kind of silica thickener to use, so I
: stuck with wood flour). The joints have been clamped up for
: about 18 hours now.

: I know that they aren't fully cured and strong, but as long as I
: don't put much stress on the joint, is it safe to remove the
: clamps and move the boards? I wanted to take the clamps off and
: use them for the rest of the scarfs. Or do I need to leave the
: boards clamped and in place for several days? It would be a good
: excuse to buy more clamps, but the real problem is that I don't
: have any more workspace to finish the other scarfs until I can
: move these boards out of the way.
