    Secondly - you don’t need a bridge between the two X rails. At least, not with the adjustment I built into my gantry mountings. Leaving out the bridge really does simplify the X rail epoxy levelling.
    Here's a thought - perhaps as controversial, or maybe not. A conventional bridge sound a tad awkward to implement, but is the problem being over-thought?, what's to stop you drilling a hole through the steel on each length to be levelled, within the geometry of the dam, then inserting a flanged "thing" through the hole to allow a bit of silicone hose to be connected on the underside, connect each length of hose together with tee-pieces, then use the hose(s) to fill the dam(s) from the underside by injecting through one end (or connect this similarly through another flanged "thing" into a tin into which you pour the epoxy. The self-levelling should work through the hose bridge.

    Or is this already what people do?
