Is there a reason that product may have already been ruled out? (I would figure that if heat is the issue, is it reasonable to consider rebuilding the tube then applying the Vac-Seal as soon as it is out of the oven?)

A few years back a friend of mine worked for a transformer company that had NASA contracts. They were sealing transformers for space applications with what my friend said was the same stuff that they used to glue the heat tiles on the shuttle with. He gave me a can of it. Nasty stuff!!! Black in color. I bonded 2 pieces of 1/4 inch plate steel together. After cure I could not get them apart. Basically destroyed the plates trying. Could this "expoxy" could be used in this application??? Unfortunately he has not worked there for a number of years. Maybe someone here has some kind of connection to NASA?
