Couldn't get the Soudal PU recently so used Everbuild 30 min. Gives enough time to adjust for square and all joints really tight. Again don't get on your hands!I use Soudal P45. Expanding moisture cured PU. Best one I've ever used.
And all these are easy to get out of the bottle with one crippled hand?
Try cascamite - mix it and use it, no squeezing of tubes and no wastage from tubes/bottles that have gone solid since last use
Not just one upmanship, but I have used Titebond III on all my hives and had no trouble. ( And I think it was I used on my hive making course at Axminster, around five years ago. ) Even more expensive than Titebond II, but in the scheme of overall costs, not something to be skimped onTitebond 2 ... Best wood glue there is and the bottle and integral spreader are good as well. (Bit pricey but superb glue - use it all the time when woodturning needs it)

Otherwise D4 from Toolstation is good value ... OK but not as good as Titebond but it's fine for roughwork and it is waterproof.

It's an old fashioned glue - I used it at school in the woodwork shop in the 1960's ... when we changed over from the animal glue simmering in the smelting pot ! It's a good glue but .. it's not weatherproof...I still use it occasionally as it has its place in my workshop but modern PVA has overtaken it I'm afraid.
I found Titebond III to be a bit watery in consistency. It runs all over the place. Great glue but more expensive and causes more squeeze out - I have reverted to Titebond IINot just one upmanship, but I have used Titebond III on all my hives and had no trouble.

Looks like they have made a weatherproof variant ... my tin is a few years old and I found to my cost that it was not waterproof ...I'll look out for this one - I like Cascamite as you don't waste a lot and as long as you keep the lid on and it is dry it doesn't go off ... thanksThis is the cascamite I use - certainly no issues with waterproofing
