I'm no chemical expert, but I'm pretty sure the catalyst is acidic and that's probably what you smell. All epoxies will have some odor to them. I would recommend doing it in the garage or workshop next time to keep the smell out of the house.

I had to mix up a tiny batch of generic 30 minute epoxy that the local hobby shop sells so I could install the servo tray. You could smell that tiny bit of epoxy throughout my two story house. The smell wasn't overwhelming but you could still smell it. Is there an odorless epoxy on the market I can use for servo mounts and other similar applications/ I'm not talking about glassing wings or building a fuse, just simple installation jobs where a small amount of epoxy is needed.
