I can not really say if your modification is a good idea or not, but when it comes to choosing a good epoxy you can't go wrong with West System Epoxy. It is all that holds my all wood airplane together (no fasteners used in any of the glue joints). I built the airplane in 1994 and I trust it with my life every time I fly it. Every Staudacher +/- 10G airplane built has had it's all wood wing glued together with West System epoxy. It was originally marketed as a boat building glue. Thousands of boats from kayaks to sailing yachts have been built with it.

That said, there are plenty of other brands of epoxy that are just as reputable.
