If you play competition you have to use water based glue by the rulebook.
I don't play in competition so I just care about my hinoki Jpen blade, the rubber and the feeling. I had bad experiencies using WBG so I am asking if VOC glues are better for that kind of wood.
Well, look like you've already answered your own question.
Juice up!
Try the glass plate method. Back in the day, I used to one up that with cellophane wrap.
Thanks for your advice! I read some posts about speed gluing and I should say that the glass gluing method sounds interesting.
