yeah I was thinking about that too, I was set on going with poly but I really don't want any lamination problems so I might be going back to my original plan and going with epoxy.

I went with Epoxy and it is the best decision I made. I used the US composites material - dang that stuff sticks good. It is a little pricey, but i do not want to do this again

mix your epoxy putty thick with cabosil/areosil to bed your stringer.
