: That's it in a nutshell. As far as strength is concerned virtually
: all wood glues are OK; let's face it, once the glue strength
: exceeds the wood strength the question of which glue is stronger
: is pretty academic.
: The question is, what happens when the water gets to the joint. If
: you use epoxy the answer according to most authorities is -
: nothing. The bond is molecular because the epoxy resin and the
: wood resin are chemically related.
: With water-based “waterproof” glues like Titebond III - where
: the grip is provided mainly by a mechanical key within the grain
: - the answer in my experience is - once the wood gets saturated
: either the wood or the glue softens and it’s grip weakens, but
: if the joint doesn’t fail the glue regains most or all of its
: grip once the wood dries out. If you pull the boat out after
: every trip using epoxy is really just insurance. But IMHO any
: glue used on a boat should at least be claimed by the
: manufacturer to be waterproof.
: A potential problem using Titebond III (I haven't tried their other
: products) is, if it does let go - usually due to dry joint or
: clamping problems - it won't stick to its dry form and nothing
: seems to stick to it either, so the glue has to be entirely
: removed from the joint before a repair can be made, whereas
: epoxy sticks happily to epoxy.
I always use epoxy because I always have it around and am comfortable with it's use, but not everyone does.
