The melodramatic Gurit summary aside, what exotherm means is a compromised bond, how much depends on a few factors. If you think cooking your Araldite in your Kingswood at 40-50 celcius is a good idea, then who am I to stand in the way of backyard theories!! I sense that crazyjr probably doesn't want his gluing to come 'unstuck' if he can avoid it though & slower, moderate temps gives better results
I was referring more to the volume/mass of epoxy being used ie- a smaller quantity spread more thinly would dissapate heat better. When I did my stuff the glue might have been 1/10mm thick between the cf sheets?? The excess was wiped so that might have been 1/2mm.

IDK maybe I've been lucky it hasn't caused me any problems
