As others have said, any old white glue. When it's dry, give the surface a pass with
a hot iron (use aluminum foil or teflon sheet to keep paint off the iron). The
glue doesn't make much of a seam bulge, but it goes down quicker with some heat
than with sandpaper.

Have never heard anything about using a hot iron to glue up a piece of
wood. Going to call bull**** on that recommendation.

You didn't hear it, you read it in a newsgroup. The water in the glue swells the
fibers near the joint, and the hot iron reflows the glue near the surface so you can
press it flat after it's dry.

Works well on attaching veneers, too (iron-on after letting glue dry on one or both
surfaces). Water-based glue swells the veneer if you apply it wet, and it splits when it
dries.
