the seam broke. In my book that means that epoxy is stronger than wood.

I suspect he meant "peel" strength.


Same story. He might confuse that wit polyester which indeed has no peel
strenght on wood. Which is logical because polyester is no glue. But don't
try to peel poxy off of wood. you'll simply peel off the wood with it.
