Really urgently need some wood glued with PVA to dry as quickly as possible

Would a good blast with a hair dryer or hot air gun make any significant
difference to the drying time which i understand is normally 24 hours.
I find general purpose pva is dry enough to hold itself in an hour, but not strongly. Wood type PVAs are much faster. Heat would dry it quicker, but I'm not sure how you'd get the heat into the joint. Often other fixings, even if weak, are adequate until the glue dries.
