Adhesive for a new boat tiller

[bluetaylor97]

I've been asked to make a new tiller for a friends boat and am thinking of using American Cherry to match the boats internal and external finish. I would like to sandwich a lighter wood in the middle and want to know the best adhesive to use for such a project as I wish the finished article to have a reasonably long life.

The only adhesives I would trust would be Cascamite or animal glue If they are still available, Cascamite comes tinned in powder form to be mixed into a smooth paste with water. It's so long since I used animal glue that I can't remember how it comes.

Cascamite is waterproof when dry. Some animal glues aren't. There's also a more modern resin equivalent to Cascamite called Extramite.

Hi,
Pretty sure both of those adhesives are available from Champions Timber, Or even someone like Screwfix Direct .. I, myself would use a Polyurethane Based Glue like GORILLA GLUE. They do waterproof & normal ... Hope this helps Sidney 1664
