Just out of interest and because damp conditions were mentioned in the answers, when applying Builders expending foam to a gap, the instructions state that you should first spray the area with water to dampen it and then squirt in the foam as this helps the expanding reaction of the foam. I know from experience that this stuff sticks to any surface.
So wouldn't builders foam be the ideal material to use in the case of delamination caused by damp?

Its great stuff, as long as there is somewhere for the excess foam to go. If there isn't it can push things apart. Does stick like mad tho!

Pretty sure bailey used something similar to gorilla glue in the construction of their vans for the floor edge bonding. I know my bailey had this oozed out around the edges of the floor. I've used a lot of gorilla glue on repairs and when set it looks very similar. It's an expanding polyurethane adhesive but doesn't expand anywhere near as much as the can'd foam.
As for the original comment like anything the repair is all down to how well it was performed. Even the best delam kit in the hands of a wally won't work well. Not mixed correctly, applied in the wrong way or temperature and it'snot likely to last.
