I have used the original TiteBond (red label), but any good quality wood glue should do the job for you.

The only thing I have ever used on jigs/fixtures made of MDF is shellac. Some guys use poly.

If you want laminate, look for somebody in your area that does kitchen counter-tops … quite often they’ll have cut-offs or scraps they’ let go cheap.
