: if I want to do the pre preg aproach with tape. would it work to pre mix

: any epoxy around at the moment.

Placing epoxy in the freezer should slow the hardening reaction. While it would not stay forever you could probably store it for a week. But that begs the question of whether you really want to be putting such chemicals in with your food. Might not be a problem, but I would think twice before doing it.
