I am connecting a piece of laminated particle board to a piece of plywood. Both 5/8” and 2 x 5’. One piece will go on top of the other piece.
In addition to a whole bunch of screws driven through the plywood into the particle board, I’m thinking glue is a good addition. But I’m not sure what sort of glue would be a good candidate.
Because of where I live (Thailand), options can be limited so perhaps you can think of an alternative in case the ideal options doesn’t exist.
Thanks for the help!
Added clarification: I’m building the top of a workbench, where I’m using the top laminated particle board to match the look of my computer desk and add the plywood layer for strength. I have support on the two outsides with two drawer blocks a foot wide, and a 3’ span of the bench where there is no support. The bench will be used for soldering, Dremel-type work, etc.
Added clarification: the particle board in question is laminated on two sides, so there is no ‘wood to wood’ adhesion possible.

You're not clear on the circumstances or the purpose for attaching them. But to answer your question any type of good quality construction adhesive is a very good method of attaching two panels of that size. you can add some screws for reinforcement.
