Need to attach many wood pieces to a board (32) and then adjust them while the glue drys. (align the edges) I need a really slow drying wood glue.
Any advice would be appreciated.

If moisture is not a concern, hide glue. If it is, slow set epoxy.

I am only going to agree with the suggestion of hide glue, if we are talking about highly modified (aka. liquid) hide glue like Olde Brown glue, the open time with a glue like this is like 20 - 30 minutes, maybe longer. Traditional hide glue has an open time of maybe 2 - 3 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and gram strength.
How long do you need? Titebond Extend gives you 20 - 25 minutes.

The powder mixed with water is longer open time then many.

). At 70 degrees it has roughly 45 minute working time, 12-14 hour clamp time. I'm told that by raising the temp over 100 degrees after clamping the cure time can be cut to 4 hours, and this can be done using an electric blanket.

Use white glue. It has a longer open time and is quite strong. It was around before yellow. I am looking at walnut furniture glued with it over 50 years ago - still tight!

How much time?
A higher temp rated epoxy can have open times exceeding an hour, if done correctly, and you'd be able to "fiddle" with the pieces long after.
