Default Best glue for laminating balsa sheets

Hey everyone. So I needed some 5/16" thick balsa sheet for a current project, andI went to the local hobby shop, and they didnt have any 5/16" thick stuff. So, what Idecided to do is buy some 3/16" thick balsa sheet, and I'm going to laminate the 3/16" balsa sheet together with an 1/8" piece to get the thickness I need. My question is, what glue is best for this? I know wood glue is a water based glue, so I'm worried about warping. I have alot of the old Sig-ment glue, would this work? Theres really not alot of strength needed, but I'm laminating 30" sheets, so its too much epoxy to try and mix up. Any suggestions appreciated!
