    Trying to balance the flow with the shrinkage while it hardens sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    Pour, flow, cut off, harden!

    Cutting the rail into equal size/shape sections should give consistent shrinkage. If you do repeated bi-sections to cut the rail (eg into 4 or 8) then (with skill/slow cut) even the slight increase in pool height should be even in each pool.

    edit:
    More likely to work and easier: One big ring of equal cross section is the best answer. Ideally you would not have a 90deg corner near what will be the final end of the epoxy rail, a radius would be nice.

    Would this type of arrangement work, placed at the ends of the bridges where they meet the rail channels ?

    I'm thinking that when the epoxy is thin it will find the same height each side but as it hardens it will be more difficult for it to flow back into the bridge.
    Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted
