What kind of glue do you use on a guitar bridge?

Once sure that the bridge is well mated to the top, it is ready to be glued into position. We typically prefer titebond as the glue of choice because it has a reasonably long open time, is fairly easily removed if necessary, and it is easy to apply and cleanup. Hot hide glue is another, more traditional, option.
