Waiting 24 hours from the last use before kashering is only required
for hagalah, not libun. See Hagalas Keilim chapter 6 paragraph 15, and
the sources in note 40. This would seem to apply even to libun kal, and
that's the opinion of the author of Hagalas Keilim, although in note 41
he cites the Siduro Shel Pesah who disagrees about libun kal, which he
dismisses as incorrect.
