Check out the McMaster listings of 3M, and Hysol/Loctite epoxies in dual 
plunger dispensers.  I tend to use the long set versions to avoid them 
setting in the mixer tube, which is super convenient not only for 
precise mixing but accurate dispensing.  Lots of alternatives.   I've 
used them in high power amateur rockets (10 G's, Mach 2, 50k ft AGL).

If you need a lot of general purpose epoxy the West Marine products are 
good.  Or some specialty ones from aircraftspruce.com
