The only time I have used epoxy was when the shrink tube I had on hand for a project was a little bigger than I wanted to use. Otherwise it goes right over the cork tape or bare blank and I heat with a blowtorch. I have learned to have a light hand with the open flame, though, as you can easily overheat the shrink wrap and blank. Started using a heat gun on last 2 builds but it is much slower going, not that it is a bad thing.
