leave the wheel for the oil to cure now
If anything you should be riding it immediately after building. Youd rather any movement thats going to occur to happen before the oil cures, else when they do loosen after curing there'll be nothing holding them in place.
A well built, even tension wheel thats been properly destressed shouldnt have any nipple movement after the build whatsoever

That's what I did last night. Went for a quick spin to ensure nothing was drastically wrong and will leave the wheel for the oil to cure now. Time will tell if it was ok.
The one thing I couldn't do was clean out the threads of the nappies prior to rebuilding with linseed oil. Couldn't seem to clear them, a cotton bud was way too thick.
