On epoxying the edges of plywood, holly/teak, etc. Neat epoxy has little tensile strength. I've seen epoxy coatings on plywood edges crack. Notably on plywood transoms.
My opinion, 1/4 inch plywood is too thin to cover with glass tape. Cutting a 1/4 inch strip of glass tape is folly. On the other hand, if you were to wrap glass tape around the edge from the bottom, you'd probably end up sanding the excess from the top and possibly exposing the wood you're trying to protect. Perhaps a good compromise would be to coat the edges with neat epoxy to ensure a good bond then overcoat that with a coat or two of epoxy thickened with microfibers to add some strength. Dennis C.
