Ah...

A little digging revealed the problem with epoxy isn't just the epoxy itself - microscopic air bubbles entrapped in it, plus small voids formed between it and the items glued when it is applied are also issues. These may take a very long time to out-gas, effectively preventing the vacuum chamber from quickly reaching the pressure required for vacuum coating.
