What sort of epoxy is required for an accelerated carbonation test?

28 April 2014 1 5K Report

I have to perform an accelerated carbonation test on cylindrical mortar samples. I am wondering if anybody knows what sort of epoxy can be used for covering the flat surfaces, so that only the curved surfaces are exposed to CO2.
