You are correct about not using epoxy. This would be too heavy for an .061 sized plane. I use Titebond I for applications like this. Just be sure to use weights to hold everything in place until fully cured. Go easy on the amount. It only takes a very thin application to laminate the doublers.

Some folks leave a little room void of glue at the corners/edges to accept CA to hold the pieces together while the wood glue cures. You still want to weigh the parts down to minimize warp-age.

Best of luck with your build.
