: Help please. I need to find a "tried and true" glue that will
: replace epoxy for glueing a hardwood tip on a Greenland paddle, and also
: for scarfing gunwales for a skin on frame. Epoxy based glues or finishes
: are out for me as I have developed a severe epoxy allergy. The glue must
: be available in Canada.

Here in Sweden we are using Casco PVAc (white glue) there are som new more water prof glues on the market. They also have a 2-comp PVAc glue for marin use.

But if you varnish after gluing I dont think you will have any problems with any outdoor PVAc glue
