I notice when i use a drop of alochol to get some (still wet) expoxy off my fingers it seems to dissolve and remove it comopletey sort of eating it up...

Question: Why does this not happen when you use the epoxy, alcohol combo to bond wood.

For fuelproofing my firewall.. I have been painting epoxy on full strength (a somewhat light coat) then hit for 5 seconds with my covering gun and it flows like a thinned syrup into all the nooks and crannies while still keeping it's full strenght mix. I haven't had any issues yet to date.
I can't explain why it works but I love your suggestion for applying the epoxy full strength and then hitting it with a heat gun. Just be careful that it doesn't flow into the blindnuts.
