Question about that new 'fast set' epoxy for miter joints

I tried a bottle of that 'Rapid Bond' stuff on a maple frame last month, cost me about $45. It set up way too fast before I could get the clamps square, and I had to scrap the whole piece. What do you guys use for tricky glue ups that gives you more working time?

Oh man, that stuff is basically instant regret in a bottle! I learned the hard way too, it's like they named it after how fast you have to move. For tricky miters now, I just stick with regular yellow glue and use a trick with a tiny bit of water to slow the set a little. Gives you those precious extra seconds to fuss with the clamps.

Saw my buddy glue his fingers together with that stuff last weekend.
