Folks,

I have used a product similar to gorilla - glues that are activated by contact with water. They seem to work real well for a couple of reasons....

- good consistency to apply, can get into cracks but don't run much

- clamp it good, and then the glue expands as it activates, filling all gaps

- very waterproof, I made a love seat from cheap framing lumber, glued it with EXCELL glue (similar to Gorilla), and it lasted 8 years outside with no glue failures

- easy to sand / trim the excess that may seep out as the glue expands

- not so good for coloring or staining

- very strong bonds, able to take shocks / stresses. Stonger than the typical yellow or white wood glues

Good luck. If you buy some glue of this type, keep the container well sealed or it will cure from moisture in the air. It does have a shelf life as well.
