Would you guys agree on the use of one-part polyurethane adhesive

Thank you in advance

I used a polyurethane one part ( "Gorilla" type) glue to make a tiller
handle. It brags about being the strongest, but says it's unsuited to
immersion. I was unhappy that it foamed out on finished surfaces,
looking very untidy during the setting interval. This is also a reason
why it calls for a light clamping force - else it can spring joints.

Actually, it needs very firm clamping pressure and a precise fit,
otherwise it will foam IN the joint, resulting in a very weak bond. I've
used it on parts that are frequently immersed - but not continually for
more than a few hours - and it works fine.
