Default Will West Systems Epoxy Adhere to Vinyl?

I am building a Piper Arrow 2 by Aviomodelli. Have never glassed before except to practice last night w/Zpoxy. Worked ok on ply and balsa. But this plane has vinyl covered foam wings. I think it should adhere but don't want to assume that West Systems Epoxy will adhere to the vinyl?

I also have a couple other questions. I haven't seen anyone address this first question in multiple threads I've read. Once I have covered the bottom wing panel don't I have to overlap the cloth a little when covering the top panel and won't that leave a ridge? Does it sand off evenly? Finally, any suggestions on how to cover the fuselage as far as what sections first, overlap where, etc? This is obviously much less of a concern if it sands down smooth where I have overlapped sections of cloth.

Thanks for any info!
