No.  Epoxy is not the right stuff for gluing in soundboards.

Would it make sense to use Terry's "Two-Step" epoxy method here: painting
the perimeter of the board where you want it glued (masked off) with thin,
and then gently pressing the board down into an adequately thick layer of
epoxy mixed with filler on the rim; to keep from introducing unwanted
stresses into the structure???

Sounds right to me.

Other than playing with the bevel in a couple years ago, me neither.
