I recently finshed reading this book that Larry Pardey wrote. The edition I have is 1999 which I believe is the newest edition. LP included a chapter in the appendix which discusses his experience and opinions concerning modern adhesives. This has been a frequent topic here and I wanted to let those that have not read this, that they might want to do so. I won't offer any opinion for anyone else to work from, though I will say after reading this I will not use any adhesive other that resorcinol for any laminations and structural joints in any kind of wood.

It is a great book to get really good thoughts and techniques for building a really strong hull.
I have most of the other obligatory boat building books and I would say this is the best I have read so far.
