Default Delamination with epoxy

On my wood Tolman Skiff, I have found a couple of places where two
layers of wood epoxied together are delaminationg. Nothing serious
but if left unfixed would lead to problems. Basically, the directions
said to paint all surfaces with thin epoxy and then before it cured to
spread the thicker and then to join the pieces. So, how am I getting
delamination?
I live in Florida so it is subject to extreme humidity and heat.

I don't know anything about how your boat is built.

From my experience, epoxy withoug glass is a delaying action only.
It WILL eventually suffer from UV damage and/or water incursion.

Second, thinning epoxy is nor recommended by any of the manufacturers
that I know of.
