Strip: Tung oil finish?

Brand new here, building my first kayak, not much kayaking experience but a lot of woodworking. I love the look a tung oil finish gives to natural wood. I haven't seen anyone "finish" their boats prior to glass/epoxy. Are there adhesion issues using an oil-based finish? I'd like to give the entire boat a tung oil treatment, then glass and epoxy as normal.

Thank you!
