Titebond liquid hide vs. Old Brown glues - Aram - 03-28-2020
For complex glue-ups where long open times are handy, is there much of a practical difference between Titebond LHG and OBG? Do any of you have experience with both? I'm talking about joinery, not veneer or anything like that.
Thanks.

I've used both and can't tell any difference. I like OBG because they write the expiration date clearly on the bottle. Franklin has some sort of goofy date code often too faint to read, or half rubbed off.

I've also used both (but not extensively) and not noticed any difference.

Thank you both.

I've used them both quite a bit, as well as the "Fish Glue" that StewMac sells. All three are excellent, and there's no discernible difference in the cured glue line. However Titebond takes significantly longer before it "grabs", which is often helpful when one needs time to persuade parts into alignment. OBG and Fish Glue both grab pretty quickly.

Once OBG grabs, can you still break it loose, reposition and have a successful glue up? Or, once it grabs, is that it for moving parts?

I've "cooked" my own hide glue, have used Titebond and OBG, and prefer Titebond. It has a bit more open time, but, if you "rub" the joint, grip happens very quickly.
A glue that should be tried is the new PVA from Tools for Working Wood. It is a white glue and I now prefer it over any other similar formula (but hide glue remains my top choice).

Curt,
Once OBS grabs you better like it. You can actually break it loose, but you'll have to take it apart, clean it up and start over. Same thing with Fish Glue. So if there's any question, I default to Titebond.
