: One of the causes of this is dirty glass that was improperly
: stored. Any contaminates that come in contact with the glass
: before it's used can effect the bond the epoxy has to it. It
: should be stored wrapped in plastic and out of direct sunlight
: and preferably kept completely dry before it's used.

: Bill H.

I also came across a warning about buying water-damaged glass where there is a danger that the priming coat over the glass strands that assists epoxy adhesion has washed off
