Thats to cold you must get it up around 20c and keep it there for 3 days.

I'd still go with the 206, if it's not in stock the wait for them to order it with their next stock order won't be a problem.
Your progress isn't as slow as mine, it took me 5 years to build mine....and its still not finished!

My workshop was 5-10C when i poured the epoxy. It took 4h instead of 1h to harden a bit and not be liquid, then 24h to harden more or less, and a couple of days to harden truly. Dont be in a rush.

Having problems getting hardener 209 in my country.
Do you think I can get away with using 207 (Extra clear fabric applicationand clear coating)? It has slightly longer working and cure time.
If I preheat epoxy, hardener and workshop and super-quickly mix the epoxy and make tha pour? By heating I mean getting it more liquid and better flowing-leveling. But heating also shortens the working time. So the question is to heat or not to heat? How long is the rough time-window for the EPOXY to be able to self-level?

Have a read through this http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/
The 209 give you about 8-10 hours for it to level out. It won't level out in one hour.
If you can't do it with epoxy then you will have to use shims instead.
