Ken- I used the PL glue a few years ago to build a paddle. The pieces delaminated! I think part of the problem was that the glue was thicker than it was supposed to be. The bottle had been open for a few months and may have a short shelf life after it has been exposed to air I have been useing Gorilla Glue and leaving it upside down which seems to prevent problems.
