One problem I have encountered with epoxy; it doesnt like thermal stress. Sure it works for a while (meaning anywhere from 2 - 60 days) but eventually the epoxy will crack, warp, or just loose its bonding properties. I have had it happen to me 3 times with my old res. Used epoxy to seal the inside and outside of a bottle but after a while of running my water throught it (the temps going up and down) the epoxy gave way and leaks happened.

I could be wrong in this situation however I should point out that there is a risk.
