Yeh understandable, but if it doesn't work for what you're doing then you're throwing away your time, which is worth a lot more. Anyway, if you want to keep trying it, I would suggest keeping it warmer for a good amount of time. Put it in a box in front of a heater, see if you can get it as high as 50-60° C. Even 30-40° would help. Keep it there for a day or two (obviously not unattended) and see if that helps.
Sealing the wood is also not a bad idea, just brush a coat of resin on and let that cure solid, then scuff it up with 120 grit before trying to bond your laminate on. This will stop the wood taking resin out of the joint.
As for glues, its difficult to suggest anything without knowing what part of the world you're in, but you're probably not finding anything because you're using the wrong search term. Technically a 'glue' is an adhesive made from an organic compound like animal collagen, and these are not what you are wanting. Search for synthetic adhesives. There are an plethora of options, from epoxies to polyurethanes to acrylics, etc. You don't need anything fancy, so possibly look for a construction adhesive like Megapoxy 69, that would be my pick for this application.
