Default RE: sheeting foam with gorilla glue

I'm sheeting the wing cores on a Sig Mustang 450. The tips of the cores are very thin, maybe 1/4 inch and under-cambered. They will have to be in the shucks to cure. I've used white glue and epoxy with good results. I just thought I'd give the Gorilla/poly glue a try. Oh, I assume that if you have to mist it with water it is a poly glue, correct?
Depending on what you intend to power that airplane with should change what you use. With the right engine, that airplane is good for 120-130 mph. If I was building it, I would use epoxy and make sure I add a wing joiner and glass the center section. Fast airplanes with thin wings are more prone to wing failures. I know this first hand!
