Poly glue question

I tried using Probond on some balsa to fiberglass. It didnt last. I tried it 
on a Phenom. Not sure if it was the particular type of glass resin Keven 
uses or what the problem was. I know it expaned through the weave as it felt 
like measles on the outside. I had sanded the inside with 180 grit and 
cleaned it good and it still seperated. I decided the glue itself just isnt 
strong, though it did stick pretty well. I personally would not use it again 
for that application.
