Wood Glue recommendations ?
#16
In theory PVA creeps under load, and as such is not suitable for what I'll call "serious loads" like the laminated roof of a swimming pool.  HOWEVER I've used it for laminated ply for furniture and its not moved in a decade.  Its also not waterproof in the sense of using it for something unpainted below the waterline of a boat.  HOWEVER if its painted or inside a car it doesn't get soaked.  There's also the modern miracle of "yellow glues" which really are waterproof, in the sense that they're used on boats and garden furniture.

The reason to "take a chance" on PVA (and they're not certified for bridges and aircraft...) is that they're so easy to use, and as such you're much less likely to make a mistake.  They also clean up easily, both the tools and squeeze out.

For myself I went that way after developing an allergy to the polyurethane glues I was using. The way that works is you're fine the first few times and then you nearly die.

An interesting comment here as to heat - over 180 deg F.   It doesn't come apart but some loss of strength.

Some don't like the dark glue line the 3 can produce.  Here's a warning on that, and reassurance as to what 2 will put up when outdoors.
