"The biggest problem that I see with this discussion group is the smart ass
answers that are given to people with good questions."

A number of aircraft have failed due to improper glue, causing death to the
pilot. Considering using carpenter's glue for an aircraft structure
indicates such a lack of basic understanding that I question whether the
constructor should be building an aircraft at all. And, with such a lack of
understanding of basic materials the questioner should not be reliant on the
question is answered.

What if 10 people responded and said carpenters glue is fine? What if no
one responded.

The first few responses were not blunt, nor did they convey the message that
to use carpenter's glue was akin to Icarius making his wings out of wax. I
always appreciated when my teachers were blunt about a stupid question.

The fact was that the question indicated the questioner was considering
sustaining life with carpenter's glue.
