That will work fine....in fact, if you want it to bend even easier, use 1/2 inch ply and just add more layers...thickened epoxy will work great....pre-wet both sides. Use a notched trowel about 1/4 inch deep and sweep it in one direction to allow air to escape and the putty to spread and clamp it in one at a time...use as many clamps or through bolts as you can to spread an even load, just don't squish everything out...just enough to see the resin ooze...then the remaining layers can be glued and screwed with self tapping screws and fender washers....just like you see being used on boats being built over a frame with wood...when cured, remove the screws and do the next layer. Since your prepping/grinding the existing glass, I would replace what you ground out with a layer of 1708 to make up any lost glass thickness and uneveness....don't need anything between the layers of wood except epoxy. Post some work in progress pics!
