   Gorilla Glue has up to a 4 hour set time. You'll need it clamped tightly and you'll be wiping foamy squeeze out off the joints for at least the first 3 hours. Thats not my idea of fun and I doubt it will make a dovetail joint any stronger than it already is. I would use titebond glue, bang them together and lightly clamp and check for squarness. Wipe the excess off and your done.

   Just a note , I have two dogs that got into a bottle of Gorrilla G lue got them to the vet within 30minutes . the vet removed a semi- solidified  mass the size of a basball capfrom their stomachs said he was going to use this info for a paper.

   The only thing I now use any kind of poly glue for is to glue bricks together around flowerbeds.  Works great for that.  Other than that, I don't use it.  Oh wait a minute - I did use some to glue redwood expansion strips back into a concrete driveway. 

   White glue would work fine for what you describe.

   Thanks, Mike, Steve, and "nails".  Plain old white glue it is.  Is it time to call it a day and go home to the woodshop yet?!  It won't be long now till I post some photos of the finished product!  While I'll be taking the credit for the dresser, the valuable feedback that I've gotten from people like you (and Dano) has been extremely helpful.  In fact, last night, I acutally used a hand plane for the first time in a situation where I otherwised would've sanded to get the two adjoining pieces smooth, and I liked it!  I think I might be developing a taste for Fine WoodWorking!!

   Best Regards, Erik.
