I am thinking of using epoxy resin for the glue and coating on some vertical laminated hard woods, ie square strips of wood bonded side by side to create a plank.

I am worried that when i glue and clamp the strips together glue will leak and stain the non glued part of the wood.

Does anyone have any tips to help prevent this. Can i coat these faces in a release agent. I intend to coat the entire plank with coating resin once finished so would the release agent be possible to remove ?

Is there a better way of controlling spill from the joint ?

i tryed first time in my life 2 years ago to wrap wing sides made from 5mm wood after 24 hours it was looking bent .. so you have to know that wood eat any kind of resin. honestly do not know what suggest i guess best gonna be to do shell and to put on epoxy glue on top.

To make laminated wood planks using Epoxy, just liberally coat all the strips in laminating resin e.g.  EL2 from EC, wrap them in release film, and clamp them hard together on a flat surface.

After the "plank" has cured completely, remove the release film and sand down the plank to a nice even finish, then use coating resin, or a 2-component polyurethane coat (laquer)

This is the way most "wood-strip" Canoes and Kayaks are made, as well as wooden laminated boat-hulls..

Generally the resin will "discolor" the wood much less than the coating you put on top...
