What type brand of glue should be used for making the sandwich panels on the roof and sides?

Do you glue the foam insulation to the plywood?

I used Tightbond II on my floor and I am very satisfied. Haven't got to the sides or roof yet. From what I have read on this site, it seems to be a popular brand.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Titebond III is the only way to go. Let me see if I can find the previous glue discussion.

I started my floor today. And I have to say I'm glad I read the discussions on glue in the forums. The sales associate at the Depot tried his darndest to talk me into Gorilla Glue; but after reading the threads here, I stuck with my choice to go with Tite-Bond III. The directions on the bottle say to leave the pieces clamped for 30 minutes, which I did; but I had to check at least once, and those pieces weren't moving after 5 minutes!!! :thumbsup:

I think the glue alone would have held, but I put screws in any ways.
