Planing Fresh (Green) Epoxy

I glued up the shaft stock (spruce) on Monday per Nick's paddle plans in the book and am about to plane the 1/16" off the surfaces. Got a 4" planer I'm going to run them through. Considering that the epoxy is relatively green still in my 50 degree basement, should I wait for the epoxy to cure longer or is it okay to run it through now? While I am anxious to complete the paddle (hey, the temp. is finally in the 60s here in Cinti today), I don't want to ruin some fine edges on my planer blades, either by gumming them up or dulling them with hardened epoxy. Thanks. Paul C.
