Epoxy: ^%$^%$$#% delamination

Things that piss me off to no end:

spam
the goverment

and

%&%$$#% glass delaminating. Everyone, what the friggin hell am i doing wrong?

roughed up surface,
oil free and damn near hospital room clean
wet the area
wet the glass tape in epoxy
slop the S____ on,
smooth bubbles out
area is heated at 75 degrees
looks good, excess epoxy runs out and scaped up while green
epoxt sets hard, in 30 hours I yank a fiber end and the glass peels right off. I check every glass layer and they all friggin peel right off!

I've got a new batch of the epoxy given to me, the stuff is from Ciba-Geigy like several other epoxies, it's TATA, and the glass I've used on 4 yaks before and it's standing up well.

So what the you-know-what is wrong with this friggin set-up?
