Default Hide Glue Gram Strength for Neck Set?

Hi Luthiers,

In my intro post I put up pics of my afflicted bass. I'm at the point where I'm ready to start sticking things together (gluing in shims then re-fitting the neck), and I'd love if somebody might weigh in on the appropriate gram strength to use for the neck joint.

I saw the old thread on hide glue, but wanted to get specific.

Also, is there a good source aside from Bjorn (who I think has a minimum order of 5#)? I'm finding Milligan and Higgans 192gs, as well as 192 at Luthiers Mercantile, then some places that have a range from 200-350+.

Thank you in advance!
