In my zeal to get the hulled glassed I completely forgot to apply the decorative kingfisher decals we had printed on rice paper. Now I'm wondering if I can epoxy them on and put a few layers of epoxy over them for protection before sanding the hull prior to varnishing. What do you think?
Alternatively, the print shop that printed the rice paper also printed the design on plastic with an adhesive backing. So I could wait until after varnishing and stick those on, but I'm concerned they may peel off in the salt water.

Just epoxy them down
I have just epoxied such decals on top of the glass. You will be fine. If you need to smooth them out after applying them use plastic sheeting, roll the decals flat, the plastic will easily be removed after the epoxy cures.

I always apply decals and veneers on top of a glassed hull or deck. That way I can fix them if I have problems and I don't have to
think about them while glassing deck or hull.
Apply a layer of glass and wet-out fill coat as you would for deck or hull.
