Titebond liquid hide vs. Old Brown glues

Maybe six months or so ago, Tools for Working Wood included a small bottle of this glue as a sample. I was sold and ordered a quart & I'm about ready for another. My glue usage is either this PVA or Titebond hide.

Yeah, I read that passage in April.  (I'd collected MacLean's books from the library used book sales back in the 80's)

The 4/4 glue -- I'll pass.

This 4/4 glue, like the new Titebond glue discussed in another thread, has 5 mins of open time. How is it different from the LePage white glue which also has such short open time?

Short open time is ok when I do shop simple projects, but for most of my furniture builds, glues like this are not good enough for me. Unless I use hide glue, I can unclamp anything put together with white or yelllow glue after 30 minutes or so of clamping, as long as the assembly is not disturbed/put under undue stress. I allow 10 to 12 hours for curing.
