   You need a water resistant glue...Titebond 2, plastic resin, polyurethane glue, resorcinol, epoxy, urea resin all meet the criteria.

   Obviously English is your second language, (I wish I had a second language) so let me know if this does not answer your question.

   Well, my multilingual friend, the only foreign languages I know I've learned from resturaunt menus and beer bottles.

   The easiest to use of the glues I listed is Titebond2. Make sure you get Titebond2 and not regular Titebond. It works just like regular yellow glue and is fine for what you're planning because it's water resistant. If you use yellow glue now and like it Titebond2 would top my list. This glue can creep so I would not use it for table tops but for glueing a chair together I would use this one first.

   The next easiest to use would be polyurethane glue. I don't use this glue because of questionable results. I just don't trust this one but many do.

   Plastic resin and urea are great for exterior uses. These are glues that come as powders and you mix them with water. If you need a lot of assembly time either of these powdered glues are great. I use the plastic resin a lot. Plastic resin would be my first choice for table tops or any joint that cannot permit creep.

   Epoxy is great glue but it's more expensive than the others and I don't believe you get a significantly better bond however it is rigid when cured so creep will not be an issue and you'll have a nice, long open time.

   So, in descending order my choices would be... Titebond2, Plastic Resin, Urea Resin, Epoxy, then coming in at a distant sixth would be Polyurethane.
