Thanks for your answer Clive
I know that 5mm thick is enough but as i said,"...After having the gantry milled (a process that went wrong) there was a 3mm deep groove for the master rail.
At the first epoxy try the groove had been covered with epoxy so the epoxy had 5mm thickness above the groove and 2mm thickness next to the grove. So this uneven surface may cause the failure of the first try. That is why I decided to go with two layers casts. The first one will cover the big error so that the second one will do the level job better. I don’t remember where, but I had read that in some way the epoxy follows the initial surface and corrects a big part of the surface error, but not all the error.
That is why i choose to cast two layers (4mm each).The creative adult, is the child who survived
