Does it look as though the ineptly applied epoxy (glue, for want of a better word), actually formed a bonding layer between the BB and the cup,
or,
was just a very efficient gap filler.
I'm certain I've seen demoes of (primed) epoxy onto smooth surfaces giving very little adhesion, showing why epoxy needs a mechanical fix, roughened/abraded surface, primed to prevent air entrapment at the interface, (unless applied wet-on-wet).

It's out. A few minor nicks in the BB shell, but nothing that will be visible when the crankset's installed or will affect fitting the BB.
