What part of the flute d'you need this kind of glue for?

There are very few glued parts on a period flute, and where there are
they're glued with shellac ( the head lining, for example ).

Thanks for the info. This one is not a Western flute, so there is no
head lining. The flute was made in two halves (like a piece of tubing
sliced longways in two) which need to be joined. Playing will tend to
cause condensation which could build up inside, so the glue should be
fairly impervious to water.
