I have used marine epoxy to glue up poplar blanks. it works better than waterproof glues or urethane glues because it seeps into the wood, you can sand it when it cures and it doesn't expand or contract at all.
urethane glues can leave a ridge line at the seam that can be impossible to get rid of.
you don't need pumps to measure the epoxy mix, just use some small clear medicine cups. mix the epoxy with wood flour to get a consistency that won't run out of the joint.
I have been using minwax hardener to seal the wood and it doesn't have any affect on the epoxy.
right now I'm using Raka epoxy because I have some hanging around but any marine epoxy ( West , System3 etc. ) will do.
