Why would you want to put epoxy resin over it?
If you want an 2 part epoxy rust paint for steel use Bar Rust 235 from Devoe
Coatings. It is excellent but the OP wanted something simple.

Do you know if epoxy resin will adhere to it?

I want a rust inhibiting and adhesion layer for subsequent glass lay
up (reinforcment and leak control). "Bar Rust" looks like a NZ
product, do you know if they sell in the US? Could not find any US
distributors online so far.

It's parent company is ICI

I found the best way to apply is to get 2 different colors and apply each
coat a different color and then you know you are getting a complete coat. I
use it Around salt water with 4-5 coats and it is excellent.

Is the Bar Rust significantly more durable in it's rust prevention ?

Since I'm planning on scaling anyway, if I can then apply something
significantly more durable, I'd prefer to do so :-)

Cordially,

Yes, but the key is the number of coats. When I first used it I only put on
1 coat but after a year it started to rust. Since then I usually put on 4
coats and it shows no sign of corrosion at all. It is very wear resistant as
well. Also if there is a chip from it being hit very hard and the paint
comes off to the metal. The rust will not spread under the unaffected area.
