Default Best glue for big scale

The only thing I do different on big planes is to add the use of carpenters wood glue in large areas due to the expence of CA.

For instance, if I'm glueing on a cap strip that's 10" long, I'll put a line of carpenters (or white) glue on the rib, but I'll leave the two ends bare and a 1/2" gap in the middle. Then put a drop of CA on each end of the rib, and one in the middle. Now the CA holds it in place instantly (like it always does) so I don't have to pin it, and the alphatic resin glue will dry over night.
