Graduating to my first multi-sheet stitch-n-glue... butt joints with blocks
are ugly, scarfing will throw off my sheet layout. Can I use a plain butt
joint, supported on both sides by glass and epoxy?

Reassure yourself with a test strip say 3 X 12 inches bonded on the
narrow side to another similar piece. Tape both sides.
Then bend to failure.

Did it fail at the joint?
The method is no good.
It failed in the plain ply? Good!

This test is more authoritive than any post you may read here.
