Weldwood Plastic Resin glue is water-resistant and is FAA approved for use in certified aircraft and have been used for many years in a wide range of aircraft applications. Conforms to Fed. Spec. MMM-A-188b, Type II (Unextended). It is unaffected by oil, gasoline and solvents. Pot life: 4-5 hrs. Mix Raitio: 5 to 2 by volume. Excellent for use on wood structures.

It comes as a powder to which you add water, which should also allow for use of sawdust to create a waterproof wood dough. I've used it on sailboats, and it is great stuff, though a bit messy.
