Marstroms used Araldite 2014 (I think it was - its the grey one anyway) which 
is a thickened epoxy that softens around 90 deg C (data says higher so it 
might have been) and which comes in twin tubes that mix in a double helix 
nozzle.

It is refreshingly expensive.

This is for use on autoclaved carbon (120C at lots of bar for 24 hours more or 
less) so may not be ideal for a glass epoxy laminate.

A quick google will get you a lot of data on this
