I am building a continuos curved handrail on a helical stairway. I plan to build it up in 1/8 to 3/16 laminates of mahogony. What glue is best for this application?

One that gives you enough time to work. Titebond Extend or plastic resin would be my choices.
Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
I'd wait to hear from Stan Foster, he'd be the man to ask around here about that
My favorite glue is just plain ol Titebond. Armin uses an epoxy type that he swears is better. Just knowing Armin...I am sure he is correct. He has used both whereas I havent.
However.....I just never have had any problems at all with my Titebond. I do not like the Titebond 11....as it sets too fast and stains my fingers.
