I actually like Lepages the best, but Titebond is cheaper and I can get it by the gallon at Lowes for the same price as an 800 ml Lepage bottle. Lepage says a bond strength of 2 tonnes (metric). I have had Titebond separate in ash at the board ends, and the ash was air dried for years. Lepages has never done that. It's made in Ohio, but have not recalled seeing it on store shelves in Maine.

i used the regular glue to make my door panels for the exterior door on my house, made of oak 1 1/4 inch thick. i used a bisquit joiner to put em together, while i was trimming the panels to fit my buddy says that would never hold. i hand ed him a strip off the side where it ran across the joints, told him to break this and see.
he hurt his knee trying to break the strip, fianally stomp it all to pieces and not one break in the glue joints.

I use Titebond II and Titebond III pretty much exclusively. I've always wanted to try liquid hide glue, but I can't get it at the hardware store, and I don't feel like ordering it online, so I never have. I really don't have much interest in trying hot hide glue. I will say that after repairing quite a bit of furniture over the years, I much prefer dealing with the hide glue! I have no doubt that if my furniture is still around in 100 years, my ancestors will be cussing me if they ever have to repair a joint :D
