What sort of laminating? Flat like a table top? Or bent laminations?

West, techniglue, botecote - any decent epoxy really!

Yep - epoxy, melamine, urea-formaldehyde - any glue that doesn't 'creep'. Anything based on PVA is likely to let go on a hot day if there is any tension on the bent laminations (as there usually is).
Hide glue is ok too, but not if high humidity or water (a boat?) are going to be involved.

Epoxy is the go for any high stress laminations.
To get the best holding the wood has to be oil free and clean so wipe off the timber surfaces with acitone or spirit before glue up.

I've used the urethane glues (Gorilla) for laminations. Franklin (Titebond pepole) suggests their "Extensible" versions of their Titebond II is very good. (I don't know if the glue is available there.)
Almost any hide glue is good, especially the hot version.

Can I use this question to ask you guys what could I use to glue 3 pieces, give them a shape and clean the squeeze out really easy?
My problem is that my middle layer has to be smaller than the outsides so I tried techniglue and it glues them really well but there's no way I can clean the squeeze out glue and can't resaw them as I need to glue the final shapes last cause of the different sizes I have.
Thanks!!

If some localized weakness can be accommodated, i.e. the gap is principally cosmetic, I'd apply the glue very thin at that region, wiping it to just barely wet. Might need to glue, press gently, and separate for wiping. Then re-press. Ideally, squeeze-out from the interior would reach only to the edge of the inner piece. Experiment first.
