Yikes, my old-school "knowledge" is just a bunch of half-remembered trivia from crumpled comics in my basement. I probably argued wrong facts with way too much confidence before the internet could fact-check me in two seconds. So maybe easier access saves us from gatekeepers who, honestly, might not have known what they were talking about either.

Mix fast and slow glue to get the best of both. I used to struggle with the same thing until I tried a method like @morgan_taylor33 said. But here's the kicker, you need to be careful with the fast glue dab or it can still mess up the joint. I put a tiny drop of fast glue just in the center for tack, then run a full bead of slow glue around the edges before clamping. This way the piece stays put but I have time to adjust. It turns out you don't have to pick speed or precision, you can have both with a little setup.

Remember that time I tried the loose lid trick for kombucha? Let's just say my ceiling got a new, lively paint job after a week. Sometimes the simple way works until it really, really doesn't.
