I need to put 2 boards together to make 1 wide board and I was going to use dowels and glue but am having a tough time finding wood glue around here. Any ideas what other type of glue I can use?

What I meant to say is I can't find any of these items at home....once I get to a store I am sure I can find some wood glue but I was curious if there is anything similar that I may have here.

Elmers will work fine on things that aren't going to have very much stress or weight on them. And the longer the dowels the better.

You don't say what the use is for. If it is a table top or something dowels and glue isn't the proper method. If it needs a finish surface then you want to use yellow carpenters glue since you are going to have to sand. A lot of what has been mentioned you don't want to breath. You are also going to have difficulty if you don't run the boards through a joiner. Boards don't have straight edges and won't line up properly. If none of this matters then I would still not use dowels, try a biscuit joiner and carpenter's glue.

Shelleys Liquid Nails.High strength.It is the best glue I have ever used. It will stick too and fix almost anything. Always read and follow the instructions. My tip is the less glue you use the stronger the hold.What you are wanting to do,you will have to clamp. If you have not got clamps big enough,use rope and don't forget to protect the wood on both edges as the rope will bite into the wood when you tighten it.

The All-Purpose Elmers Glue bottle is supposed to be able to glue wood together. I'm not sure if it works though.
Put a thick layer of it on the wood. Let it dry for a while. It's now ready.

Skeff is right on. Wood glues are everywhere. Even in some pharmacies.
Everyone talking about Gorilla Glue is right, but it is liquid polyurethane. There are much less expensive versions of the same thing.

I suspect the UHU has reacted and melted the vinyl in the tiles hence the blotches... Did you prepare the floor before laying the tiles? It should be clean, free from dirt, grease, water and not prone to flaking. If you feel the surface of the floor is not secure - ie it could flake, you need to treat the floor with a sealer first and then a second layer of sealer to help level it. Depending on how warm the room is, you may need to use a heat gun or a hot hair dryer to warm the self adhesive backing after you peel off the waxed paper backing. Press and hold down each tile for up to ten seconds until it takes hold.

Gorilla glue. Very strong, but takes forever to dry. I sealed a hole in the bottom of a boat with it and also glued an oar together among other things.

ProBond, Gorilla Glue, aliphatic resins. Can't imagine why you'd have trouble finding wood glue - there are many.

You could try Crazy Glue, but I'd recommend using clamps as well to be sure it's solid and set.
