GLUE ?

I will begin stripping my first wooden-strip kayak (Guillemot Expedition) next week. I will be using cove-and- bead strips as well as planned beveled strips.
I have carpenters glue, hot glue gun, stapler, duct tape, packing tape, spring clamps, c- clamps, sheetrock screws, dowels, straps, mirror clamps, bungee elastic chords and "Super Glue".

My questions are.
1. How much liquid or hot glue do I use?
2. How often and where do I place the hot glue?
3. After the hot glue cools. Can it be sanded or does it need to be removed?
4. Is there a special hot glue sick that works best?
5. Has anyone used "SUPER GLUE"?
I enjoy the bulletin board and I'm looking forward to your inputs.
Thank You, Paul in Tennessee
