I can't really recommend an epoxy as I haven't used this particular technique, but as I understand it does need certain properties for it to work..

Firstly, to be clear - I'm not talking about the method used on this build:

My First Router, Built in Steel - Page 17

The method I'm referring to is the one where once the frame is assembled/welded, a couple of channels are built onto the rail bearing surfaces (the channels don't need a bottom as the surface of the frame will serve that purpose) these channels are joined by a bridge (probably more than one, which will - of course - need a bottom). Once the frame is reasonably level and the epoxy is poured in, the bridge(s) ensure that the epoxy on both sides of the frame sets at the same height. Once everything's hard, take away the channels/bridges, scrape away the meniscus and voila - parallel, same height rail mounting surfaces.



A few folk on here have used this method and will be able to elucidate further.
