Nicholas,
The real benefit of coating plywood with epoxy is to seal out water. Wet wood is not as good of an engineering material as dry wood is.
I do have some results for 6 mm ply with and without glass - I'll try to post it soon. Nick and I did look at the effect of grain orientation on 3-point bend specimens of white cedar - he has the results in his design site. I don't have similar results for ply, but would not expect much of a difference for balanced styles.
