Material: Polyurethane glue for laminating stems

Do any of you have any experience with laminating hardwood stems with Gorilla Glue? I think it might have several advantages over epoxy:
1. You can use it when the wood is wet
2. It is easier on the tools when shaping the stem after lamination
3. No mixing

I think it has osme of the same advantages as epoxy (gap filling, waterproof).

Any thoughts?
