HHG is the only thing I would ever consider, and it is the glue I use daily.

It comes in various gram strengths. The lower the number the easier it will be to release the parts and the more open time you have to position parts. With the high clarity giving an even longer working time it seems.

I get mine in 5 lbs lots from Tools for Working Wood.

I believe the glue that you can get from Stew Mac is from the same manufacturer, and is easier to purchase in a quantity that will likely make it through customs. I have had a couple of orders seized by AQUIS for no reason other than over zealous employees.
