I reckon about any glue could be used, but hot hide glue is time tested traditional still used by many. The glue is applied to both sides prior to hammering. The hide glue will fill the holes if they are small they won't be noticeable.
Old Brown Glue is another if you don't have capability to warm.
Plenty of videos out there demonstrating the technique.
