A question about using J-B weld to repair a broken teapot lid: Will the steam/water release the chemicals?

JB Weld is a 2 part epoxy product. Mix it half and half, apply the mixture to clean surfaces, and clamp them together. Wait 24 hours and remove the clamp. Wait another 24 hours before washing and using the repaired teakettle. The fumes are unpleasant and probably very unhealthy, so I don't use JB indoors, and I hurry a bit. When it's properly set, dynamite couldn't dislodge enough of anything from it to hurt you, IMHO.
