[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2024572, member: 93138"] I'll disagree that Titebond is the absolute best bonding option. I've no doubt that it is good stuff, but I don't' see it being used anywhere in plywood wooden boat construction. As it happens this type of boat construction is something I've recently been researching in prep for building an all wood tear-drop trailer. Epoxies rule the kit boat and plywood boat building world, either as a bonding agent or as a filleting/fairing agent when it has micro-balloons or chopped glass strands mixed into it. The Cold Mold building process is very close to how a laminate stock is made, only the laminates are intentionally biased towards each other and are bonded in place while curved (sometimes compound curved at that) rather than laid flat. The only single part bonding agent that I've ever seen used in my boat building research is one guy used [URL='https://www.loctiteproducts.com/en/products/build/construction-adhesives/loctite_pl_400_vocsubfloordeckadhesive.html']Lock-tite PL 4000[/URL] construction adhesive, and he only used it above the waterline to bond MDF into place that was later encapsulated in epoxy and fibreglas. Below the water line was all epoxy.
