Hi Allen:

I have been making 6 5/8 supers from scrap plywood for some years now with
biscuits and Titebond II.  It is a yellow aliphatic resin glue which passes
a waterproof test of three 4 hour immersions separated by drying and then a
stress test. So far it has been bullet proof in my beekeeping equipment.It
dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

It is getting harder to find in its pure form. Most of it is "extended" by
adding wood flour. I have used this stuff, and it seems as good as the real
thing.
                                    Best regards
