   cyanoacrylate is very expensive, doesn't go far, or work too well on porous materials (wood), I'ld stick with the way your doing it .

   what's wrong with titebond III?  I use it almost exclusively (inside and outside) as tests I've read show it to have one of the highest bonding strengths of yellow glues.  What went wrong, if anything in your case?

   At its most basic level, capitalism offers people the freedom to choose where they work and what they do … the dignity that comes with profiting from their talent and hard work. … The free-market system also provides the incentives that lead to prosperity -- the incentive to work, to innovate, to save and invest wisely, and to create jobs for others.” -President George W. Bush

   In other words, free-market capitalism is the best path to prosperity.

   I don't know for a fact, but my impression is that "crazy glue" doesn't hold up well to exposure to the elements.

   It is handy for tacking things together while other glue sets, though, if you can figure out how. I suppose you could try mixing it with another (non-water-containing) glue.

   It would seem to me that you would want a glue that can move with the wood movement.

   So having a thicker glue line with a glue that can accommodate some movement is a good thing.

   I think the titebond III does that pretty well.

   I've used CA glue on porch column base and cap miters.  Made sense at the time but I don't think I'd do it again.  PL Premium is the way to go.
