I need Ex-Spurt advice on repairing an old ukulele. I have a 1915 Koa Kumalae
with a brace that needs reattaching, and it also has a crack in the back. I just bought some hide glue after watching this Youtube video:

After viewing a few more luthier videos where they use plain old Weldwood glue, and also being told "crazy glue" works just fine, I'm a tad confused as to what is the best glue to repairs to this old classic ukulele. What do you experianced luthiers recommend? Your advice is appreciated.
