Repairing bobbers

On a crack the epoxy will cover the area but I doubt it will penetrate due to its viscosity.

The lighter solvent glue may seep into the cracking in varying degrees (dependant on gap and application).

Plus the solvent glues will evaporate to approx. 50% less weight and volume as they dry - with the epoxy there is no significant loss in either volume or in weight as it is a straight up catalytic cure.

Epoxy in water would be better than "wood glues" which are water based and will dissolve and weaken in this purpose. Regular epoxy will withstand a lot of water contact - but there are "marine grade epoxy" glues that offer even greater resistance.

"Crazy Glue" is not suited to this application at all.

Sorry to go on.......... sorta into glue types and uses - from my days of building/repairing guitars and fishing rods.
