Possibly not, but on the chance that it adds something in
shear stability, I Titebond as well. The price is also more
easily justified if you make a visible mess to be observed
cleaning up afterward.
Nothing I've posted for the last two hours has showed up yet,
so the thread will probably be long dead by the time this
shows up.
