Check my web site for using hot glue on a glue block. It works a treat but
if using it on wet wood, dry the wood with a heat gun first. Also turn the
piece immediately. Moisture can wick to the glue surface and ruin the bond.
For wet wood I have often used a medium to thick viscosity CA. Put glue on
the block, accelerator on the piece and force them together for a minute or
so.
