Strip: Which Glue

Hi,

I am about to start on a strip Night Heron, and plan to use Titebond glue.

Not havign used them before, is it important whether I use Titebond I, II or III? I know III is waterproof, but it appears to have a longer setting time, and if the wood is fully encapsulated this shouldn't be an issue. So isit fine to use I or II?

And does anyone have preferences or recommendations? I like the fact I/original is an aliphatic resin but haven't worked with the polymer or cross-linked PVA's before so not sure of their properties or what they're like for this sort of application.

Interested in any thoughts, etc - or other brands (available in Australia) I should consider.

Thanks,
Darren
