I was getting suspicious that the hide glue didn't cure correctly or was too weak on my bridge that I had to reglue. 192 gram strength.
It's been a month and this week it started opening back up.
What should I do?
Higher strength glue, try the old again, Fish glue, or Titebond?

Problem may not be the glue itself. If the fit of the joint isn't tight it will fail, if there was residue from another adhesive like titebond it will fail. If the HHG gelled before it was clamped it will also fail. 192 gram glue is plenty to hold the bridge on.

I had pullout originally, but wasn't that bad. I'm thinking that I messed up anyways, because I didn't heat the 2 surfaces before apply the HHG.
