My civic clutch used to get glazed. I took it easy for a while and then it wouldnt slip under load. Try taking it easy for a while.
If you continue to slip it will need to be replaced eventually.

lol it happens. relax. why would u have to let it sit for 24 hours? what will that accomplish? Maybe just park the car immediatly after and let it cool off. but that doesnt take 24 hours. give it like 30 minuets and then get back in and drive it normal
