Old fashioned Elmer's white glue was not water proof, even after curing for a very long time. That is why folks used aliphatic resin glue (yellow) instead of white glue. I have used white glue too, but I would be sure to cover the joints with a water proof sealant.
I agree about the accelerant being nastier on our senses than the CA itself. I suspect that this varies from person to person and brand to brand of products.

Ed, I've never had any problems with it and I've been building with it for years. I don't fly off water but I can see your point.
Not being water proof may be an advatage when doing a repair. Maybe soak/spray it with water and see if I can get the joint to come apart. I'll have to try it, Thanks
