Water resistant wood glue?

[Seven Spades]

I am about to remove the door to my heads because the veneer on the edge is starting to lift. This is due to the use of the on-board shower has affected the glue. I need to re-glue the veneer and clamp it and I am looking for a recommendation as to the best glue to use. I am not sure that I can remove the edging strip to allow me to properly clean and re-attach with a nice new bedding, I may be forced to try to squeeze the glue in along the lifting edges.

The door is perfectly dry, the boat has been out of the water since last year.

polyurethane wood glue is water proof but you could use cascamite or even epoxy.

All will need the glue line clamping until the glue has set.

I have found PVA glues to be not water proof just water resistant which IMHO is not good enough where water can flow.

will leave a glue line & is messy to use

cascamite / extramite is east to use,is waterproof but will req clamping for longer.
Not many pva`s are water proof / restiant

Yes it can be messy but I get polyurethane in 300ml cartridges that make it easier to use but I agree if it sets on your hands it has to wear off.

The polyurethane I use is white and I only get any glue line if I glue very dark wood and a little saw dust will colour the glue line in that case.

Polyurethane glue is excellent but has the disadvantage for some jobs of foaming which will lift a thin veneer unless well clamped all over. I would be tempted to use something like Titebond 3, excess can be wiped off before setting and the veneer can be held down by tape. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Titebond-1...ASIN=B0001YS16U&linkCode=xm2&tag=pebble-gd-21

Is Tight bond going to be ok given that it is a shower door?

Cascamite. I did this exact same job with it. Painted under the edge of the veneer, the added cure time allowed the veneer to soften before clamping. Have flat pieces of wood, cling film, and a damp cloth handy.

I have used Gorilla Wood Glue from B&Q in a shower room and so far (2+ years) no signs of failure.

Provided you use the external one it should be but there are plenty of alternatives out there, cascamite has been mentioned. Presumably the door is wood veneered and you will be re varnishing anyway which will seal the edging.
