Someone mentioned on the "veneer" thread elsewhere on the current board about using "gorilla" glue in this situation which seems to be more compatable with moisture. Don't know if it likes this much water though. The point Chris raised is probably the reason it is not a "good idea" to use carpenters glue in this way. It probably has lots of factors involved and I got lucky there. I was also counting on the epoxy and glass to make up for any lack of strength that doing it with carpenters glue may cause here. Check out the veneer thread and maybe there will come a better answer.
