Resorcinol is a bear to work with. It is very messy to handle, temperature sensitive, hard to find and does require tight joints and clamping pressure. One other "negative" is that it will leave a purplish glue line that will NOT sand out. I suggest sticking with ordinary carpenters glue or epoxy. Either will work fine.

Cheers, Michael
