I use a small sample bottle of Titebond and refill as necessary. I also keep a wet cloth handy for over application clean up when pieces are pressed together. Light clamping is necessary till the glue cures and if you plan ahead you can make additional sub assemblies and the first dries. I usually let mine sit for about 20 minutes before moving but it all depends on your shop temp and humidity. The nice thing is if you are off a on alignment you have time to reposition before the glue sets. I have read that even afterwards you can use a heat gun to "Soften" the glue and move a small amount.

For clamping small pieces I pin the bigger to my board and add the smaller pushing tight and pining them also. Little more work but no fumes, though I do use CA with a small fan blowing across my work bench, really helps. For larger pieces rubber bands work to hold as well as small spring clamps.
