Different. Only Hide Glue is much used these days.

everybody has a bottle of hide glue around

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

i see

Its best the leave the context in above, so people can understand what is
being responded to.


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.

thought wood boats were made so that the wood swelled and created
the water proof joint but had to be wet to stay sealed

but maybe that is ancient technique

Yes. Even in the Viking Age, they caulked the seams with wool saturated with
beeswax. In the Age of Sail, it was oakum (rotten rope) driven in with a
caulking iron and hammer.

More recently, people use Resorcinol or Epoxy. See Wooden Boat.


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/

westmarine has the highest prices almost always but sometimes there are
deals

glues are not often discounted either

Glue is not a good place to be saving money. Its like a tailor who uses
expensive fabric and cheap thread.

In the other thread, yes the wooden door sagging trapezoidal in the summer
heat is a failure. There are no marks on the door saying who made it, or
Id be lecturing them.
