: Check the website, Fred. In a word, epoxy.

Don - I hear you! West Systems just told me "West System Epoxy, mixed with Micro Baloons".
I looked on web - found that others are using Gorilla Glue, and some airplane building sites still use Resorcinol. I see now where Glen L sells a epoxy-based glue. Back in 76 when I built Glen L's ROUSTABOUT - Weldwood Resorcinol was the best known to man, and epoxy was just starting to show its face. That's why the question - sounds like it has worked OK? Is the "epoxy glue" the same stuff everyone coats their S&G boats also with?
