I don't use Araldite. West Systems epoxy is _far_ better. It's also
not filled, so it's thin when I need it and I can always add an
approriate filler if I need it.

Most epoxies, including Araldite, whould withstand boiling water
temperatures. However _rapid_ Araldite is infamous (or useful) for
losing strength at these low temperatures.
