Any recommendations for an adhesive for laminating up some redwood for exterior use?
I've had poor results from Resorcinol in a past so that's out. Does anyone have a preference? The application is some outdoor table legs.
Thanks

Epiglass is not uv resistant. I'd use a polyethylene just as Gorilla glue

True that, but easily overcome: "Once cured, sand smooth and seal with Epiglass resin mix prior to finishing with a UV resistant varnish or an undercoat and topcoat finish."

Epoxy not being UV resistant is a bit of a red herring as the glue lines will be only a fraction of a millimeter thick in a laminated structure, so the level of exposure is minimal. Epoxy will be fine as long as the laminated timbers arent so large that timber movement becomes a problem.

Structan polyurethane glue is the stuff to use. High quality and easy to apply.
