Glue for bracing

What glue is recommended for adding bracing without screws?


A clear / transparent waterproof wood glue will do the job 

You want a glue that won’t change colour with age

Titebond III doesn't fully cure to the extent that type 1 or type II adhesives do. It remains somewhat pliable and prone to movement, comparatively. It may or may not be a problem IRL, but I've always avoided it unless I had a specific application that called for it. I've also found that it gums up sanding sheets more than types I or II.

I’ve done woodworking for over 30 years. Titebond II is by far the best.

I'm no master carpenter or haven't done woodworking for 30 years but I glued the inside of my 30's (braces included) with PL Premium X2. That stuff ain't going nowhere. Cures hard as concrete.
