The internet says PL is polyurethane adhesive? Why that instead of another adhesive? I'm asking to learn - not doubting you.

Not who you asked but I think the answer would be pretty universal. PL glue such as PL400 or PL Premium is kind of the go to glue for trades people. Not expensive, readily available, and it works very well if you use as directed.

That's the impression I got, but it's weird I haven't heard of it. I'm not a tradesman but I've done a fair bit of work at my house.

Is it gap filling? Something you'd use (among other things) to stick two pieces together where you may not have as much surface contact as you'd want? In this case, it will fill in gaps in the screw holes in addition to being adhesive?

Again - just looking to learn. The next DIY project is always around the corner. >.<

Within reason it's gap filling. I think if used as the original commentor of this thread suggested, it will probably make the desk feel fairly sturdy.
