Has anyone had a problem with baffles or the epoxy used on them?

Oh, you mean float bowl baffles in Weber carbs. (email)
I've never heard of this being done in 2 barrel Webers, so I assume you mean the triples.
I welded some baffles into a pair for a racer friend, but it was a major PITA and I don't think is the best way to go. I haven't actually seen the epoxy method, but it is the standard. Maybe you didn't prep the float bowl well enough for the epoxy to adhere well enough, or there is a special fuel resistant epoxy. I don't know.
