It was the first waterproof glue that had tremendous strength. Two things you should be aware of: 1) take precautions not to inhale it or get it into cuts. 2) your joints have to be absolutely perfect and require very good clamping pressure. Typical example that you might recognize are scarfs in spruce masts on sailboats which are difficult to find if done correctly. My advice is to use a high quality liquid epoxy with an additive to thicken it. You can contact West Epoxy for their advice since boats don't fly.

It looks like I will abandon my search for this glue in favor of alternatives such as polyurethane, resorcinol, and epoxies.
