Aircraft Spruce sells the Stuart Covering System which is the Ecobond glue.   They also sell Ecoseal which is the wood sealer and Ecoetch which is the aluminum cleaning or etching chemical you use before gluing to aluminum empennage (tail feathers if you are building an LE or XL).  I used the Stuart System for covering wings and tail feathers.  I like the system and had excellent results as a first time builder.  Also painted with latex house paint.  The sealer is expensive but is water based as is the Ecobond.  You could save $$$ if the varnish is compatible with the water based glues.
