epoxy and rescorcinol are strongest and "waterproof", others are "water
resistent" but have been used on boats. you can find information on
adhesives in "Do It Youself" books at the public library. I've used both
"plastic resin" (dry powder mixed with water, dries rigid) and
polyurethane (the kind squeezed out of a tube with a caulking gun) with
wood screws to build small boats.

But, sometimes other traits are wished for. Are there any marine performance
(for wood, plastic, ,metalls) glues that (compared to epoxi) are more...

there are different kinds of epoxy with various characteristics.
they would be described on the seller's websites.

I don't think you can get away from mixing the stuff, or from the
unhealthy side effects. You should wear gloves when applying and a
mask when sanding.

Google asked if I ment resorcinol ?

Yes, and Pete C mentions Sika (silicone marine glues and sealants) That's
three. Yipeee! ;o)

Especially gluing foams and keeping the weight down is an issue. It's
somwhat stupid, in my oppinion to foam with epoxy.

Almost like shooting mosqitos whith a cannon. Tips still appreciated!
