"Limitations - Titebond White Glue is not intended for exterior use or where moisture is likely. For exterior applications use Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue or Titebond II Premium Wood Glue. "

regular wood glue is not waterproof.

Of those two choices, I would use the caulk.

Squirt it in the hole, then attach binding and screw.
Any excess will squeeze out.

I have not used caulk, but others have with decent results.
It makes sense to me.
Not as good adhesion as epoxy. Not as good at soaking into the fibers and hardening.
But honestly, mostly what you need is a waterproof sealant to prevent water entry.

i was hesitant to use epoxy because of the foam core. the caulk is water based and the website says it can be used on foam and wood.

Some water based caulks are also water soluable. If it's not for exterior use then it may soften while wet.

i says it is a "weather resistant seal" and also cites applications such as sealing tubs and sinks as well as for use on backsplashes.

I used this "bathtub caulk" on the outside of my RV and it turned out that "bathtub" didn't mean "exterior". So now I only use "exterior" silicone caulking for everything.

FYI, you can also find waterproof wood glue.

FYI, "exterior" means UV stabilizing and protection chemicals are added.

The caulk in my bathtub prolly stays wetter than your RV caulk ever will.
Its the UV, not the rain that did you in.

I can't believe no one has taken off with this one. (sorry, I'm busy at work today and have a dirty mind...) :D

There's a Santorum joke in there somewhere.
