Default West Systems Epoxy

Data for West Systems:

http://www.cstsales.com/Epoxy_&_Mold...epoxy_data.htm

- shows that it is only trustworthy up to about 120 F. Above that it can soften, delaminate, etc.

This Hysol data sheet shows that 9462 ( same as aeropoxy) is good to 225F, although it's only a fraction of it's room temp strength at that point. Hysol has some epoxies good to 400 F by that sheet.

Then, there's always JB-weld for the real hot-spots, although any place where you might have a ply bulkhead probably shouldn't be getting much hotter than 200F
