Default Delamination with epoxy
writes:

This is West System epoxy and when I mean thinned I mean I simply have
not added thickener like microballoons or microfiber. I did not add
thinner. The epoxy straight from the pumps is mixed and painteed on
the bare wood and allowed to soak in, Then microfiber is then added
to thicken it and strengthen the joint, smeared on evenly and the two
parts are then joined with screws to hold them together. small
amounts of delamination has occurred at two joints that were not
covered with glass

You may have told us already but sometimes my memory is short:
How old is this lamination?
