Hmm ... not encouraging ... where was the delamination and how was your paddle sealed? I made a test pannel using the PL glue. The joints were glued very well. The stuff that foamed out was rubbery and when sanded, the joint line looks grainy ... probably due to the ruddery texture of the cured product. I'm a little leery of the stuff.
