Glue problems

Hi All, All this cold NorthEast weather has been causing me some gluing difficulties. I have been using titebond for the bulk of my building projects with good results. However lately I have had trouble with some joints staying white after the glue drys a sign that it's to cold. I take the glue inside to keep it warm but the wood is cold. I've only been able to keep the shop around 40° to 50° constant and can get it up in the 60's during the day with the wood stove. I know I need more heat and am working on that but, has anybody had better luck with other products at cooler temps?
