RE: CA or epoxy?
Medium CA works pretty good. I mist the cloth very lightly with spray adhesive, then apply it to the surface of the wood. Take a latex glove finger and spread the glue out on the cloth. You will be surprised how little it takes. It sands out pretty good, I've made several cowls this way with a foam plug/mold that you discard. For limited use this is a good method but those fumes are killer.
