Gorilla's are strong and so is the glue

I chose a polyurethane glue (Gorilla glue seems to be the least noxious) for its: strenght; waterproofness; ease of sanding. Yellow glue has a tendency to gum up your sandpaper (even if you scrape off the drips there still is enought to shorten sandpaper life). The Gorilla glue sands great and its foaming/expanding action fills very small voids.
