: Take a look at "resorcinol glue". I have built paddles

Resorcinol glue now days is likely more expensive than epoxy and has similiar health risks. I'd just use epoxy.

Plastic resin glue, if you can find it, will work and might be less expensive.

Gorillia glue would take a huge number of clamps, resorcinol glue too for a piece that big. Require tight fit and clamping pressure.
