I have a wooden lawn ornament that is used outdoors and gets rained on. It is cracked and need to be glued and clamped. I know that the common "white wood glue" is not waterproof. I suppose epoxy is one option, but is there any other glue (made for wood), that will work outdoors, and hold up when it gets wet?
What kind of wood glue to use outdoors?

There are a number of "yellow" wood glues that are water resistant. (Titebond III etc)
Resorcinol. Weldwood urea/formaldehyde. Titebond3. Titebond2 isn't waterproof but will stand up to considerable soaking. BTW, epoxy needs to be painted, UV decomposes it.
I likr TB3 ... I use it to assemble bee hive boxes and frames .
When Trump is in office, he'll make the bees assemble them themselves.
