    Not familiar with the type of epoxy you are using. Good epoxies can be more forgiving that fish glue and slightly stronger but both will do a fine job. I used to use nothing but liquid fish glue for laminating backed bows.

+1 for Titebond 3.  Not sure if it's the "best", but has been working fine for me.  As long as your surfaces are clean and mate properly, you will not have problems.
