Doesn't seem to absorb PVA glue that well. Gluing it together (to make fiberglass molds/plugs) it would come apart quite easily. The glue was dried like a film on the surface. Contact adhesive is the way to go.

Yep.
I was meaning to use the PVA to give the oasis some structure. If you wanted to get it to soak in you'd need to mix with water and detergent.
What does the detergent do for it? I've used PVA for fibreglass release before but only because it washes out in water.
Detergent lowers the surface tension of the glue and it will be absorbed into all the nooks and crannies of the oasis rather than just sitting on the surface.
