I know exactly what you mean! I go downstairs and work on the planes because my GF watches all kinds of crappy TV shows, so I just hide from all the garbage. But yes, the wood glue does take a little longer to dry but it allows you time to position assemblies and line stuff up, epoxy will let you do that too, but it's much heavier than wood glue. Wood glue will evaporate the water in the glue and leave the resin behind, CA will soak into the wood and plasticize the wood. Wood glue is very strong and semi flexable, CA is brittle. It's only good for hardening wood and tack gluing parts, for a better built plane I refrain from using CA as much as possible. I'll tell you what, I'm on a service call right now, but when I get home, I'll clear the bench and set up the extra kit. I'll do a step by step with you and we'll go over the areas to address or reinforce. It'll be easier than you think, in the mean time, pick up some wood glue, I actually use great planes aphletic resin(spelling?), the one advantage of using it is if you have a point on the joint that lifted, just take a warm covering iron and press the effected area down with it, it will rebond and adhere to the ajoining part. But tite bond II or regular elmers yellow wood glue will do the job as well. I'll be on a little later on, feel free to PM me on any questions.
Well, off to fix another dead chiller, talk to ya later, and oh,......unplug the cable connection where it comes in the house, that will keep your wife doing house chores for a while, she'll never figure it out!
