Morphology
The meaning 'a strong adhesive made from epoxy resin' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'epoxy' (a thermoset resin) + 'glue' (an adhesive). This noun–noun compound follows a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Epoxy glue gets its image from how it is made: you mix two parts, a sticky resin and a liquid hardener, and when they join they make a very strong, long-lasting hold. So the name reminds you that this glue needs two parts to react and 'bond' things together.
