This might sound like a dumb question but its something that i cant figure out. What is the slowest setting glue/ fastest setting glue. So i guess what i am asking for is a list of glues in order from slowest setting to fastest setting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There really is no one single answer. There are just too many variables. Ambient temp can be a big variable.
Titebond, Elmers, Dap, Sytem 3, West Systems. All have web pages that will break down the open time, pot life and cure times for you.

That may be a tall order. You could put epoxy anywhere in the list. Hot hide glue sets up fast but doesn't cure completely for some time. Glues have other properties that could affect your choice as much as set time. What are you trying to do with it?

West has a hardener (#209) that'll give you an hour working time and a 24 hour cure.
