Depends what kind of "wood glue".

Huh?


Hide glue melts at 150 to 180F.
Casein glue should not be heated beyond about 150F

hide glue and casein are the same or no
Different. Only Hide Glue is much used these days.

A special-purpose variant is Fish Glue.

These are for indoor uses only, not being moisture proof.


PVAgoes "plastic" at about 160F

which glues are pva

All the milky white or yellow emulsion types, that resemble and often smell
like Elmers Glue.


So the short answer to your question is "yes, many wood glues will
fail well below 200 to 300 degrees F"

more research for me then

The research is simple - the manufacturers data sheet will say what the
operating temperature range is.

If you want to cut to the chase, use only glues intended for fabricating
wooden boats, as these will resist both temperature and moisture, and are
strong and creep-resistant.

In for instance the magazine Wooden Boat, you will find everything necessary.
There are also numerous web sites. These glues can be bought online, and in
West Marine stores.https://www.westmarine.com/
