I have never tried it but you can check out the specs at the posted link. I have heard of it being referred to as "aromatic cedar" which would mean that it is a bit "oily" so I am not sure about epoxy adhesion issues. If it is "oily" perhaps a rubdown with lacqueur thinner just before glassing would help. But stick around, I am sure you will get more comments about this species.
