Can someone advise on glueing pearls please?

I bought the double plunger 5 minute epoxy glue. Despite my best efforts, I can't get both plungers to squeeze out the same amount of glue, which means the mix was wrong and the glue hasn't set. Also the instructions say to call a physician if you get it on your skin, and I struggled to set the pearls using tweezers or plastic wrapped fingers - the pearls kept sticking to the plastic or pinging out of the tweezers and got covered in glue and dust.

*Can anyone recommend a better glue for setting pearls? Preferably one that's not so toxic that you have to call a doctor if you so much as touch it.

*Can anyone tell me how I can pick up the pearls securely and glue them without them pinging all over the place or getting glue on my skin?

*Does anyone have any suggestions for how to remove the glue that didn't set from the pearls, so I can re-use them? Or how to remove the glue that did set in big smears all over the face of the pearl?
