Instead, if you wanted to try something like that, I think I'd build a form out of plastic mesh and fill it with LECA.
I'm just OCD enough to do it!

Now, to find the plant and design the form.

Addendum: the contact area for the epoxy would normally be the contact area for capillary action, no? If so, I would have to ensure there are multiple contact surfaces.

Or as you suggested, a frame work with mesh (wire would be my preference as it is more malleable).
