You are talking about resourcinal glue (origianly developed i Britain to
construct laminated wood war planes and boats). Its an excellent glue but
requires minimum 65 degrees ambient temperature and even clamping prssure
(ie. not a good gap filler for a poorly fitted joint). Epoxy is good also,
more forgiving with clmaping pressure and available in cold weather
formulations. May cause skin rashes in some people.  Epoxy is more critical
with respect to the porportions in the mixing process and leaves a
black line in an exposed glue joint.
