Cheap alternative to Krazy Glue

I'm making multiple small items and would need hundreds of clamps
(literally) to hold everything in place while the glue sets. I tried
Titebond II (I need some water repelency) but the set time was too
long, the glue expanded and the bond was too thick/uneven. I then
tried Krazy Glue (Gel Craft Type) and it worked perfectly. The only
problem is Krazy Glue is very expensive ($3/ 2gm = .14oz) and I have
no data to indicate what the bond will do over time. I've read second
hand accounts that the Krazy Glue becomes brittle. The parts being
glued are non-moving and I don't want them to be flexible but I'm
uncertain whether some level of flexibility is desirable to account
for wood expansion. That said, does anyone know of any readily
available, cheap alternatives to Krazy Glue? I know Krazy Glue is CA
but I'm leary of trying a total generic from the dollar store. I need
a quick (nearly immediate) set and flow control (can't use sprays).
Thanks in advance.
