I also use glue to fill small (up to BT-50/ST-10 size) balsa nose cones as well as the tips of sharp-pointed balsa nose cones of all sizes, in order to strengthen the tips.

Oddly enough, on the few occasions when I have gotten detached fins, they were fins that had not been sealed or filled before I attached them. But that's probably just a coincidence.

Ok. To return to the original topic of the thread - has anyone experienced any structural failures or unusual fin detachments on a model built with the new formulation of Elmer's white glue? I have had a Saki on an A8-3 punch the motor mount out of the BT. My custom is to double fillet the front face of the rings at both the motor tube and body tube but now this has happened. You would think that an A8-3 in a 1.8 oz model would be held in place by friction!

And a little digging found this in a papermodelers forum from May of this year.
Just recently, I resumed designing/building a card stock electric powered R/C aircraft. It utilizes a lot of glued edge joints and I preferred Elmer's Glue-All for that. However, when I opened a new bottle and started gluing, I found that the glue did not have a very good tack, if any at all. The joints kept opening up after my usual clamp time. I tried mixing that bottle with a known good one and the resulting mixture also had little to no tack. The only difference between the bottles that I could find is that the new one was made in China. Has anyone else used Elmer's Glue-All manufactured in China and found a difference? Maybe I just got a bottle from a bad batch, but I would recommend a test on any bottle made in China on scrap pieces of cardstock before using on anything of importance. I have sent an email to their customer service to let them know of my recent experience. I'll be going out this morning to buy a USA manufactured replacement bottle this morning so i can continue to build. If anyone has had a good experience with Glue-All made in China, let me know so that I won't have to continue to avoid that product unnecessarily.
