   Unibond 800 veneer glue would be a good choice. It dries to a rigid glue line, the catalyst can be varied to gain extra time, and it can be tinted to match the color of your wood species. You can purchase it from Vacupress.com

   I normally use two part epoxy.  Using a slow hardener will give a long open time.

   Both are good choices for laminations.  If you use epoxy, keep in mind it is exothermic, meaning it generates heat from the moment it is mixed, and heat speeds the curing.  As soon as the epoxy components are mixed, I pour them into a paint roller tray or something similar where the epoxy will be spread out.  This will minimize the effects of the exothermic reaction.

   Titebond has a glue made especially for laminating

   It was mentioned i a recient issue of Fine Woodworking in a article on laminating

   I've been using DAP Weldwood Plastic Resin Glue for years with excellent results.  Very little creep and a huge open working time.  In fact it has a 24 hour curing period.  Mix with warm water to a heavy cream consistancy and brush or roll on.  Use a mask because it is toxic.

   It's my understanding that Weldwood Plastic is a one part urea formaldehyde glue - just add water to activate.  There is a shelf life as it will absorb moisture from the air over time.
