I wonder if John Phillips is referring to Titebond Liquid Hide Glue?
There are several different types of glue sold under the Titebond
label, but the Liquid Hide Glue is an entirely different product than
yellow carpenter's glue.  It is water soluble and allows time to make
adjustments. I use it frequently for small wooden parts and veneering.

There has been discussion on MMD before about the strength of the
liquid glue compared to hot hide glue, but I have never had a problem
with the liquid glue.  It is hard to find in stores (but it's shown on
their website, so apparently they still make it).  Whenever I happen
across some, I buy a bottle.  I did notice that the bottle I have now
has an expiration date (from a couple of years ago) but it still seems
to be fine.  Maybe it should be stored in the refrigerator?
