I would use neither. Lashing is stronger.

: Hey all....

: I'm building a Yost Sea Tour 17 and have decided on using the dowel
: and adhesive method to join the stringers/gunwales to the cross
: sections. I wondering about using regular Titebond III wood glue
: since it has a 4,000 lb/sq. in strength and is waterproof. Has
: anyone else used this or should I go with the more expensive
: route and use epoxy? Are there any other semi-economical
: adhesives that people have had success with? Thanks!!
