    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.

    Build is looking very good and stout! What route are you going to take for the machine bed? Didn't see that discussed anywhere.

    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.
