I was hoping the supplier would have some creep rate data, but they don't appear to (which is slightly worrying). However as long as you stay below about 1/3rd of the epoxy melt temp creep is pretty minimal/non-existent. For SC-15P that should be around 90F, and my shop usually runs a good bit colder than that so I should be fine. Even if it does aned up creeping a few tenths, it would do it consistently, and therefore shouldn't have any noticeable impact.
I'm not set on epoxy yet, but it does seem like the best solution. What other issues did you have with it?
