Thanks,  Thought it sounded familiar.  I have used that stuff on occasion,
worked fine for what I was using it for but I've seen it used in places
where it was not intended to be used and it didn't work out so hot.  I
didn't use it on wood though, I think it was for an interior cinder block
wall.  Really, we do have them at the school where I work.

Next question.  I do some work on gravestone repair, mostly marble.  Most
of the stones are just broken and the quarries here in VT have a glue that
works just fine to glue them back together, no problem.  The problem ones
are the ones that have pieces missing, usually just where a crack developed
and wasn't repaired so it just eroded away over time.  What I need is to
find something that can be used to replace mass, that is the missing stone.
Can someone advise me on this?  Have I made this as clear as mud by now?
Thanks, Ruth
