I have some Black Starbond Super Glue. Might try it. I use on wood turning cracks. The video I referenced says the Baking Soda and SG sets up pretty fast. I may get to this this week. Working on some ABC kids blocks. That is slow going.

Why clean the mixing cups? I use paper cups to measure and mix. Just throw them away.
He mentions using thin super glue. The thick stuff might setup before fully absorbing into the baking soda. I know baking soda is basically the same thing as the super glue accelerant.
You’re not going to have time to use a mixing cup. If it’s anything like using microballoons, it will damn near instantly get hard, emit a lot of fumes, and what they don’t tell you, it will generate heat.
Hi,
I followed the crayon suggestion for this sign as I am sensitised to epoxy in a very bad way.

From experience using Baking Powder in Ceramics and Woodwork it is predominantly a binding agent and filler.
Another dark alternative is to use finely ground pencil lead or powdered graphite if the amounts required are small. It works in the same way as baking powder but you would need to mangle a lot of pencils for a large inlay 
I have to get back to this. I have what I need but I have just been so busy with other projects to dedicate the time required to test this out. Someday???

You could get Graphite powder. It’s a dry lubricant.

Baking powder or baking soda? Not sure if you said that on accident but if you did it gave me an idea to test out.
Baking soda is basic so when mixed with cyanoacrylate glue neutralizes the acid that prevents the cyanoacrylate from cross chaining into a polymer. That is why it almost instantly kicks off the CA glue.
Baking powder is a balanced combination of baking soda and creme of tartar which is an acid. This might either slow down the CA glue setting or it might not set at all. Might be worth testing with this process as it would prevent excessive heat and allow for a bit longer working time. Mixing in some baking soda with baking powered might be worth testing as well.
EDIT: Might be a good idea to test this outside with a resperator. No clue what kind of chemical reaction this will cause.

Per a Google search.
While both products appear similar, they’re certainly not the same. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which requires an acid and a liquid to become activated and help baked goods rise. Conversely, baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, as well as an acid. It only needs a liquid to become activated.
