Fred:
For the most part that is true. To allay your fears make a sample lap
shear test coupon. Lay up some fiberglass in a thickness that you are
planning on using the actual adhesive on. Make 2 layups at least an inch
wide and make a lap joint. Pull it to destruction. If the fiberglass
breaks before the joint you can find a degree of satisfaction that the
adhesive is good.
