I ask as I build stitch and glue dinghys that have no fasteners.
Several are ten years old and exhibit no problems so far and I have
always considered epoxy to be pretty much a life time glue. However,
if someone else is having problems I certainly want to know as I don't
want to sell a dinghy and have it fall in pieces. (don't want my own
to either :-)

And my boat has seen 22 sailing season so far. No fasteners, just epoxy.
Problems I have had so far have been due to either UV-degradation or
errors in my workmanship.
