: I am to the point where I can epoxy the yak. However I have a lot of places
: on the boat where the strips are covered with veneer( very thin). I was
: wondering what happens to the mechanical bond that is supposed to take
: place between the wood and the glass. When I apply the precoat of epoxy,
: will it sink into the veneer and bond to the strips? Will the
: "shell" effect of having glass on the inside and the outside
: negate my problem or will I have a void between the veneer and the strips?
: Lots of questions that I hope someone has the answers.

The veneer must be glued to the strips without voids.

The epoxy will not penetrate through the veneer and adhere it to the
strips.

If you have any reson to think the veneer is not glued down you will
have an easier time fixing it now than later when it's covered with
glass and resin.

All the best,
