My original post I was wondering if I could use titebond on the spar dubblers or use epoxy like the manual states.
Also is elmars wood good or gorilla wood glue the same as titebond?

There are several places I wouldn't use wood glue in place of epoxy.
If you are 100% sure you have excellent wood/wood contact then wood glue or thick CA is fine, but there are some places where you don't or don't know if you do, like gluing in a dihedral brace on a wing with the center section already sheeted. Epoxy will bridge a small gap and be very strong, wood glue will not.
They might be, but Elmars nor Gorilla glue will publish their specs, which can only suggest that they don't perform up to Titebond specs.
Gorilla's exact quote was "We do not publish specifications for our products for competitve reasons." They wont even tell you exactly what it is, i.e. type of resin, or even if it is a resin glue.
Niether will Elmers.
I kind of like to know exactly what Iam using so Ijust stick with Titebond Original and Titebond II. Idon't like Titebond III.
