Been out of the loop for a while. Was using two part epoxy. What is every one using nowadays?
True. 24 hours but then again most '5 minute' epoxies are 12+ hours to full cure so either way, the part is being left until the next day.T-88 is a very strong epoxy, but it takes a long time to cure.
I routinely start working with an epoxied blank after only 15 or 20 minutes. Haven't had one fail yet. Knock on wood. (See what I did there?)True. 24 hours but then again most '5 minute' epoxies are 12+ hours to full cure so either way, the part is being left until the next day.

I'm talking brass tubes to wood or acrylic. I don't do segmented pens.I assume you are using the stick-fast brand that you posted a picture of? I haven't tried that one yet.
Also, are you talking wood to wood, wood to metal, acrylic, etc? Also, are you doing this on a relatively simple 90 degree segment or something more complicated?
I would love to be able to start something 20 minutes after I set the epoxy.
