Caulks, Sealants & Adhesives Q&A

Question 1

I'm looking for an adhesive to use to secure cedar boards to the inside of a large wooden hope chest to create a cedar chest. Will this work well for that purpose? If yes, how many tubes do you think I would need for a chest with dimensions 41" W x 20" D x 18" T, using cedar boards that are 3.75" wide? Or alternatively, how much of this adhesive is needed per square inch or ft to hold wood to wood? View answer
