Put me down as another vote for Old Brown Glue (OBG) especially when
doing repairs on antiques. I have used it for years and am quite pleased
with it. I put the new the bottle straight into the fridge and cut out
chunks as required. Most of the stuff I glue is small so I don't
normally heat the entire bottle when using it. Instead I break off
chunks (very rubbery when chilled) and place them on a piece of plastic
wrap pressed over the surface of hot water in a coffee mug, then apply
with a small brush.
I have also been experimenting with Columbia Organ Works high tack fish
glue.

Then sent me a sample when I ordered some leather and it has the
properties of hide glue I like best without the need for refrigeration
and heating. So far I haven't tried it on anything seriously structural
but have had great luck with veneer patches and small repairs.
