My experience says that Epoxy does not bond well to VE. When we are talking wings, use VE and nothing else. I am sure that is what Dan Diehl would recommend.
If you rough it up enough, epoxy will make a bond, but I don't think it good enough to trust to your wings. Dan H.

You have that backwards. Vinyl ester will not bond with epoxy. Epoxy bonds beautifully with VE according to the composites chair at Cerritos College (rated the best composite training school in the U.S. by Composites Manufacturing Magazine).
