I might try a gap-filling super glue like Zap-A-Gap. If you are through the casing, that would definitely be a problem. Almost sounds like someone took a blade to it. Delamination is unlikely to occur at a right angle to the bead - tire layers are wrapped back and around the bead - this vid shows the basic process with the layering starting at around 2:45.
