Rich,
can a "regular" guy find the Cascophen resorcinol glue( actually it is a polymeric compound more akin to epoxy when mixed!) ; I was referring to what most folks think of as glue- Elmer's, Carpenter, Gorilla.

Acrylate glue, like "crazy glue", is even ok for small, clean, closed cracks where it can penetrate the wood; but it is not for use where there are any voids to fill.

I believe the resorcinol component is what gives the laminate glue it's red color, phenol was used in the "white" glue, IIRC.

All these do is mess up the surface preventing a real repair, JMHO.

And you are absolutely correct, most anything can, will , or has worked for someone!
