Hi Fuzzi Shu,

    I use epoxy quite a bit in my work. The question I have for you, what
    kind of epoxy are you using? If you are using Devcon 2 part 2 ton,
    there should be no reaction whatsoever with the Haggerty. There are
    very acidic anti tarnish dips out there, and what their reaction to
    epoxy I can't say. I suggest making a series of tests first. 

    For my husband's one and only good dinner jacket, I made resin inlay
    buttons (looked quite cool, I must say), with sterling silver, 2 ton
    Devcon, some tumeric mixed in and some with yellow mustard powder.
    The coat with the sterling went to the dry cleaners with no ill
    effects. They of course have tarnished now and I will have to clean
    them with a polishing cloth.
