   construction adhesive--it's waterproof and flexible and will stick to damn near anything.

   Gorilla Glue should work. It is important that the pieces be moistened before they are mated together. I'm not a glue guru but I suspect the weak point in the glue bond is the paint film itself. Bare wood should give better bonding results.

   I've used both gorilla glue and Weldwood Resorcinol adhesive. Both have worked fine in my exterior applications. I prefer the resorcinol glue since the gorilla foams when it polymerizes.
   I agree with Jcallahan-you may want to sand/plane the primer off before application.

   jcallahan and Jim T. have both given you all the advice you need. Lose the paint and glue the bare wood. Paint just makes a barrier for the bonding of the wood.

   *One more vote: from experience, any finish on the wood ruins the bond. Sand it off.

   I am looking for an exterior adhesive or glue to use on my pre-primed ("Cabot's" oil based) casing material for an outdoor installation of custom pediment & crosshead build-ups. I need to glue two primed surfaces together and have that joint not fail in these New England weather conditions. I have tried "Phenoseal", "Tite Bond", "Gorilla Glue" and other related manufacturer's products. Using my not-very scientific testing and sampling methods, I haven't found anything, that I feel, will hold up in time.

   Whenever I try to get a recommendation from a manufacturer or someone of experience, I'm just led down another dead end path.

   Is there a "a guru of glue" out there somewhere that can be of help????
