Adhesive?

I am going to start building my first kayak using ceder cove and bead strips. A friend who has built several racing shells (no fiberglass skins) has recommended that I use T-88, two part epoxy, to glue the strips together because that is what he does. Will this work on a kayak which will have fiberglass skins? What are the pros and cons? Because I am building it for myself - time is not much of a factor. I am most interested in the quality of the finished kayak. Also, who makes T-88 and is it compatable with glass systems?
