I would like to add my two cents.
Last spring I used Luan to make hatch doors for my boat.
Biscuits were used and the panel boards were washed with acetone and glued
with Titebond ll and pipe clamps.
The doors were coated with Behr Tung oil finish fortified with UVI. Several
coat were applied inside my garage.
They were my pride and joy. Then in mid August the panels were showing
signs of separations. Part lines began to be very visible. I then replaced
the new hatch doors with the old one made with Teak plywood..
I do not know what happened. Maybe the Luan is not compatible with Titebond
ll.
Now that I learned my lesson I'll go back to using epoxy on my boat.

Tite Bond II is all I use for wood working around the house. I have
projects like bird houses that have survived outdoors, but I would never
use
it on my boat. That is what Epoxy is for, IMHO.

If the interior job involves continuous load, original Titebond is
less prone to creep than Titebond II.
