My reason for using hide glue under loose veneer is that only more hide glue will effectivly stick to old hide glue. To switch glues like Roger has sggested would require removeing all the old glue first, and when sneeking a little glue under a loose patch may get a bit invasive if you want to sand etc. If the old glue is still present you may be able to reactivate if with a little steam and then restick the veneer with a low heat from a clothes iron, and then clamp. If the old glue is not going to work for you then use some vinegar to soften and remove, with an old tooth brush, rag, or what ever can gets you under the loose spot. Once dry, fold a thin sheet of fine sand paper and insert it in the loose spot and pressing lightly, slide the sand paper back and forth till the old glue is removed, then you can use another adhesive or more hide glue. Wax paper and glue blocks and plenty of clamps, a pad over the wax paper will alloy you to press in iregular surfaces.
