That is not epoxy, but rather Frit glass. Frit glass is a special type of glass with a lower melting point that allows joining the face to the funnel without softening/melting the face/funnel glass, burning the phosphor or heating the shadowmask to the point of warpage. Should last indefinitely...It has been in use since the 50's and does not really fail on those tubes.

It is usually on the main sticker that has the CRT type number and most of the other info. Sometimes they put EIA in front of it so you know what it is, but often it is just a string of 3 or 4 numeric digits placed somewhere such that if you did not know about EIA numbers you'd guess it was some random meaningless number.
Google 'EIA numbers' or 'EIA (+ number on your tube)' to find the maker the number crosses to.
