Polyurethane glues- Excel or Gorilla are great in damp conditions-
however they do foam ie expand so would suggest you use less than you
think you'll need, also it is a bear to clean off of your hands, however
have foud this to be very effective adhesive in situations where there
is contamination from prior glues- ie @ frame and panel doors and on
mortise and tenon chair joints....
Titebond II is fairly weather proof and more foregiving than the
above... could apply it with a glue syringe.

More and more I'm using "Hot Shot" glues- basically crazy glue w/
shoulders, not the strongest but definitely the fastest.
hold the pieces together and hit it w/ the accelerant- it's done.
