: Isn't most if not all of the structural strength from the first wet

: cosmetic problem if the epoxy over the pin stiping flakes off.

The structural strength is from the glass/epoxy, the epoxy alone does little. I think I'd put vinyl on top of the glass then epoxy over it, then it truely is cosmetic.
