What glue would be best for gluing G10 to itself as in layers and layers? Epoxy.....Loctite with activator? I want a hard connection...not flexible. Thank you.

I've had very good luck using CA glue. I know some use epoxy, but I think both work quite well. Flat G10 to flat G10 is an ideal bond for CA glue. Low gap, high surface area.
 
I have more faith in a good epoxy (it seems better in my head) but having used too much CA to "temporarily" hold parts together before I'm sure that'd be plenty strong.
 
I'll give you a vague hint. G10 is epoxy based GRP. ;)
 
Depends kinda what it is for as to what what you use. If it is thin pieces and then thin CA will work great when the material is sanded with 50 grit and all the shine is off.

If it is thicker pieces and any chance of it being pounded on CA does not have good shock resistence and the bond can be broken sometimes.

I recently have been testing clear gorilla glue and it makes a very strong bond with micarta and g10 with proper surface prep
