I called and talked to Nelson paint products.They said they will have a replacement Powdered Urea Resin Adhesive glue by the end of the month.They said the mix ratio will be different but escentally the glue will be the same just manufactured by another company.And that it will still be available in quarts and pints.

Resorcinol is a good wood to wood glue but has a purple color when dry, and Smooth On is very good, it dries to a clear color.

I get it from Lee Valley. Not sure if they operate in the US, or if they're under the same name there.
   It has a one hour work time and cures clear.

Weldwood Plastic Resin is a urea glue in powder form that you mix with water. I have used it on a few backed bows with good results. It looks and feels like Urac when it is cured.....cheap too!
I got mine from ACE Hardware.
