: Some epoxies are more moisture tolerant than others; System Three's
: T-88 which is a 1:1 mix is supposed to be able to adhere to damp
: wood if "worked well into the surface" . . .

: For laminating inside stems - where the glue edges are protected -
: I use Titebond III which is quite happy to stick to slightly
: moist wood.

I tried Titebond III on one of the inner stems and it worked just fine. Thanks, Douglas
