I have found that although 24hr epoxy is much better than the 5 min variety, it has it's disadvantages.
I have found that sometimes, where the clamping angle is awkward, the parts tend to slide out of registration or the clamps sometime "ping" off! Taping the parts in place is sometimes not an option due to obstructions like railings etc.
To solve this, apply the epoxy to the parts to be joined and clamp them together.
Now, "spot weld" the parts with thin CA glue at various spots around the edge. This stops the parts from moving out of registration and allows the epoxy to cure without any further attention.
