: Take a look at "resorcinol glue". I have built paddles
: with it and would trust it over Gorilla Glue. Weldwood is one
: brand name here in the states.

Resorcinol is the only glue that competes with epoxy in terms of effectiveness but it has absolutely NO gap filling ability. Joints must be tight so that glue lines are very narrow. It also has a shelf life of about a year and needs 70 degrees or more to set up.
