reported that the water soaked in to the wood 4-5 mm and
that when he cut the wood open the glue only was only
working at the edges, [perhaps the outer 4-5 mm edge?]
The cure rate is definitely moisture related. I've had PL stay soft
for days. Other times it foams up and hardens in hours.

submerged for the test?

I always spray down the dry wood with a spray bottle of water.
I seem to remember a "New Yankee Workshop" episode where Norm used
this stuff. He used a paintbrush to completely wet the mating
surfaces before applying the glue.

[the glue with access to air moisture]
That suggests to me that the interior glue was starved
for moisture, required for curing, read the label instructions.

experience with PL has been quite different.

after 10 days of soaking I finally tested the "Aquadhere"
polyurathane glue that the label said was strong and waterproof.
after this time water had soaked into the wood about 4-5 mm. .
after 3 good hits with the hammer it had'nt broken so i split the
wood perpendicular to the glue line to see how goodthe joint was. .
I was then able to pull the glue apart . the only thing holding it
together was thefoam that had oozed from the joint . .
FAIL,FAIL,FAIL,FAIL.
I definitely wont be using this on anything intended for getting
wet!.
