White glues are very strong, actually. They are quite a bit stronger than 
5 minute epoxies and cyanoacrylates in some cases. The drawback is that 
they take time to set and they can cause things to warp temporarily. They 
are good for balsa-balsa joints but they really come into their own for 
wood-foam joints (eg. spars in a combat foamie wing), though I wouldn't 
use it to sheet a wing. Its also quite a bit lighter than epoxy.

They are handy thats for sure. Too bad they cost a lot!
