"I'm not sure about using Titebond instead of epoxy on a SOF: in a stripper each joint gets supported on both sides, in a SOF boat the stringers are on their own. I have found Titebond softens if soaked for a long time, regaining its strength once it dries out. If that happens in a SOF the joint could fail, so make sure the frame is well sealed before skinning."

I don't claim any expert status but I have cut a glued hundreds of scarf joints and glued them all with Titebond III and never had a failure. I think most failure are due to poor technique and not the glue.
