Debate what in your opinion's are the best waterproof glue's on the market
Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue

Everbuild D4 is good (and relatively cheap).

Just to clarify mi amigo Mock , are we talking about waterproof as in submerged or always wet or are we talking birdhouse that gets wet? Are you looking for something with a lot of brute strength like an epoxy , or joint filling like a polyurethane type for window settings? A good glue reccomendation really relies on the use to which you intend to put it. Any attempt to get to THE BEST of anything will end up being a bit misleading as each adhesive has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I personally like construction adhesive outdoors , but I tend to put up shacks for lawnmower and coldframes for tomatoes and such with it. Dries hard and waterproof and quite strong and is applied with a caulking gun.

Garden bench bird houses ect weather proof

If I am doing woodwork for my garden I always use West System Epoxy with their microfibers filler. I have glued up two benches with it, well part their best with joints starting to rot and so far have had another three years out of them and they get left out all year with no covers.

it does go off. it shouldnt have done in 7/8 months, but it could have been old stock. freezing/frost will ruin it too.

I tend to buy a new pot each spring for this reason, and bring it inside in the autumn. Throughout winder it is too cold to glue anything in my unheated workshop, so i tend to do non-wood projects. Last year i sorted out my tablesaw and made a new fence system for it. This year I think it might be a drum sander, or get the lathe bench built.
