Default RE: 90 Degree Intake with G-10 Epoxy Board?

I've been wondering if a high quality epoxy could be used to laminate the 4 layers together instead of using all the little 4-40 bolts. I'm thinking I could scuff the surface of the G10 with some 80 grit and then use a West Systems epoxy to laminate them together.

I'd want to laminate 2 pieces together and make the top half. Then laminate 2 more pieces together to make the bottom half.

The 2 halves would be put together, but not glued. I'd need a couple alignment pins through the assembly during the drilling process. Run the alignment pins through the 2 halves and then drill the holes from the top and the sider to make my 90 degree turn.

Take the pins out and separate the top and bottom half. Radius the corners to smooth flow.

Now laminate the top and bottom half together so it's one solid block 2x2x2 with my hole through the inside.
