Handles Liners File work help

Ive got all the bits now to handle a knife ive done some File work on and want to fill the File work with the Epoxy black to match the liners (cheers bushwacker bob )

Im assuming it would make sense to glue the liner to the Handle wood first so the liner dosn't bow into the filed area ?? does it also make sense to perforate the liners to allow the glue to go through

the Tang is ruff ground and will be degreased in actone etc but again is it a good idea to drill thu for glue holes it will be pinned but as they are parallel will have no clamping effect (like mosaic pins ) they will be ruffed and cleaned

any comments ??
