Titebond, not Titebond II, is just fine. The setup time on II is longer, so I'm told. The particular glue is not as critical as the use of epoxy and fiberglass over the whole hull, inside and out, once you're done. I hear Lee Valley also has some appropriate glues. Epoxy would work, sure, but it is overkill and expensive and messy to use in this situation, plus cleanup of overfill is more difficult.
