Are you asking about hot hide glue, fish glue,pre-made hide glue in a bottle or other?

Herry,

I am not sure if you are already aware, but Titebond is just a brand name for an alpatic resin glue - which available almost anywhere even Java I suspect. Either way hide glue is better and cheaper if you are already used to it!

Best,

Yes!!! There's no titebond in my shop. I used to use Epoxy to glue fingerboards on , but now I use hot hide glue for everything.

FWIW, I'm not saying titebond is a bad glue. I know that hot hide glue works for me. It's always fresh because I know when I mixed it.
