I will have to bend the joined part.

it all depends on the radius of curvature of the bend.

But the problem then is: how you you glue the flat ply on that curved block?

I don't think that would work in my case, but you gave me an idea: I could
do a simple join like a lap, bend the plywood into it's position, THEN
apply epoxy and tape! (As I said, this seam is longitudinal along the
curve) Can't see why that wouldn't work...

Thanks!

I think that's a better plan.
