The two changes that I made are:
1. Using PVC Cement to seal the cooler rather than the epoxy.
2. To make everything flow better and to ease cleanup I put a mesh grain bag over the manifold in the bottom of the tun.

PVC cement, JB Weld, and that bluing/cleaner may leach solvents into the mash. I'm not sure what the best practice is for PVC glue.
I used aquarium silicone for my bulkhead ball valve sealant.

Which I found thanks to tarponteaser posting his info - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/food-grade-silicone-sealant-brew-stuff-265473/
(I believe the internal plastic of the cooler is polyurethane. Per the Q: in the video.)
