Want to do a project tomorrow, exterior use, exposed to water, possibly
lots at times but not submerged. Is there a recommended brand/type that
any of you have used and can confirm will work? I will be using screws
too, just want the extra strength.

3M5200.

Once it sets up, screws become redundant.

One of the many variations of liquid nails, depending on the materials
to be glued.

Until the adhesive fails.

I did some testing of various adhesives for some stone to wood products at one point. Liquid Nails was the winner by far over all similar products I found at big box store. Been using it for all sorts of stuff for years. Never had a failure.

You have obviously never used 5200.

Is this wood-to-wood?

If the adhesive will be subject to weather, lots of silicones and exterior
caulks are suitable. If it's for panel-to-stud connection, and the panel
protects from weather, many of the 'liquid nails' products are just fine.
The only problem, is that a moist chunk of wood will stretch, and the
glue won't (so you want a weak glue, that's kinda stretchy).

As a sealer, maybe....

If it's structural though?

I've had Liquid Nail and 5200 both fail.

I'm a hard core epoxy guy.
There are others, but West System was MADE for wood.

PL Premium polyurethane is good stuff for those conditions. I've even used
it on small boats for joints that are under water and it has held up fine.
(I'm talking about a boat that is removed from the water when not being
used, not one that stays in the water...)

Life happened, didn't get to it the other day, and it rained all day
today. I may try tomorrow, no sign of 3M adhesives in HD or Rona here,
I'm in Canada. Plenty of PL products or DAP adhesives, it is straight
wood to wood, pressure treated.

5200 is available from any marine chandlery.

BTW, HD carries 5200 stateside.

That info and $1 will get you a cup of coffee in a low price joint.

Yeah, probably right. Epoxy, yes but maybe expensive\difficult for this application but I always have T11 or (whatever the number is) on hand and love it.
