I'm going to glue some plywood spars inside a fiberglass cowl to stiffen it up and create cooling baffles. Which glue would be better to use CA or Epoxy?

www.dreamworksrc.com If you are only doing a small amount of this, aeropoxy is not the econimical solution. We just aeropoxy (hysol 9462) a lot with the jets and it's the best solution, but not at all cheap. For what you're doing 5 minute will probably be the most exonomical choice. I would not use CA for that.
Contact Todd at dreamworksrc.com if you want to have aeropoxy on hand. It's really a great epoxy (but not cheap).

Hi!
I can assure you that Ca glue(Flash) will work just fine if you roughen up the surface first.
Have done this in Pylonracing on many models for years....
