How long does Titebond Original Wood Glue take to cure on Pine?

How do I prepare Pine before applying Titebond Original Wood Glue?

End grain absorbs adhesive heavily — apply two thin coats with a 2-minute wait between to prevent a starved joint. Sand face grain to 120-grit. Do not use 220-grit or finer as it seals the fibers.
