yes, much like fiberglass. Indeed you can use polyester resin(fiberglass resin) with carbon fiber, but not a good idea in this situation, BY far the resin of choice is an epoxy. West Systems- I would go with West Systems 207--stays very clear for a long time while other epoxies tend to yellow with age. By the way, Gorilla Glue is not an epoxy--it's urethane. They're both polymers but not any real similarities. It's a nice idea to line the rims with modern stuff especially given the end grain situation. But I am a big fan of Tightbond--after 40 years of...... Lest you fear over-squeezing the joint(unlikely), Visible "squeeze-out" all around the joint is a must.
