Resorcinol has to be mixed, requires tight glue lines, must be cured at 70 degrees or better and dries purple. There may be a problem with open time, too. There are so many downsides it's hard to remember them all.
Everyone brings it up for name dropping reasons but nobody uses it.

: I spoke with a guy at a wood sales shop just today about Gorilla Glue. He
: says that it dries "black" and suggested that I use resorcinol
: instead. I'll be starting my stripper this winter so am doing some
: homework on glues to use. FYI!
