The Donald David, a Maine Lobster Boat, launched 1956

Is Titebond 3 a suitable glue for gluing components of my lobster boat project? I'm uncertain about glue usage various parts of the Donald David.
Any help is appreciated.
Happy modeling.

Thanks, Stephen. My thoughts are to use it for gluing wood to wood in my lobster boat build. I know it probably takes longer to set, but I have a large jug of it and I have glued a lot of wooden things with it, but those things are not likely to swim in water.

I've used Titebond II Premium on all my builds. My only use of Titebond III was on the strakes of my Spanish Galleon build. I found that when wetting the strakes. to bend them into shape Titebond II "unglued" at the splice/scarf joint, loosened and came apart because the moisture I applied. Titebond IIII solved that that problem.

Attached are two photos of my latest work on the Donald David; the cabin. I cut pieces of plate glass for the windows and there are there are three simple replicas of instruments on the dash board: a two way radio, a compass and a special instrument that displays the ocean floor and its rocks; very handy when ever he set traps in a shallow area.
Happy modeling.
