Possibly not, but on the chance that it adds something in 
shear stability, I Titebond as well. The price is also more 
easily justified if you make a visible mess to be observed 
cleaning up afterward.

Nothing I've posted for the last two hours has showed up yet, 
so the thread will probably be long dead by the time this 
shows up.
