I am building the 1/96 Constitution. I am going to put wood planking on the upper deck. I thought about Gorilla glue. Any other suggestions?

Yellow carpenter's wood glue.

Gorilla glue is polyurethane based and expands, so if
you use it...careful.....I would not recommend it.

Cheers,
Joe

So, carpenter's glue for wood to styrene?

Oh....you had not mentioned the styrene part.

In that case yes, you could use carpenter's glue, provided
that deck is painted first, but in this case go with the Gorilla CA.

Like I said the Gorilla urethane based(the brown one)expands and may not be idea, in this situation.

Cheers,
Joe
