What would be a good easy-to-find glue for outside wood?

Borden's white glue says to not to submerge item, but doesn't say it
can't get wet. Or would Borden's hide glue be better?

Planned use: I can't get matching pickets for my fence anymore, so to
avoid using too many new ones from what I have, sometimes I glue an
old one back together. And this weekend, I'm screwing a patch into my
neighbor's fence 2x4, that rests on the edge of sheet of t-11 and a
couple posts, but I'd like to glue the end of the new patch to the old
2x4, if I can.

Elmer's waterproof glue (a Borden product). This is a resorcinol glue
that comes in two parts--dry powder and liquid and is purple when
mixed so it will leave a dark glue line. Works! As an example the
ear on a ceramic rabbit fell off about 3 years ago. I glued it
together and it is still holding together after two winters and two
summers of sprinkler water twice a week. Just be sure that you follow
the directions and use the correct proportions.
