Curved panel glue up (post #169777)

In a recent FWW an article by Steve Latta building the serpentine sideboard and discusses gluing up the door fronts from 1/8" bending plywood.  I understand the need to use a glue that dries stiff  so the panel does not spring back / creep.  Steve uses hide glue, which is good, but... when gluing up 6 panels there will be a considerable open-time between the first two sheets and the final.  What I've read is that once the hide glue starts cooling off it starts jelling thus a short open time.  Would not a urea formaldehyde glue or a plastic powder resin veneer glue be a better choice?  Any thoughts?

Thanks, Greg

Plastic resin would be a great choice, often used in laminations, no creep, long open time, can be set with high frequency RF equipment, too.
