Know this bit old now but seen as I've probably got the most experience with using this method with more than 20 machines poured ranging from small to 10x5 feel should add my bit.!
Reason you failed was purely because poured to large qty then waited too long. The resin and hardener type wouldn't made any difference, would happened with any type in this instance because of the waiting. I've mixed n poured 1.5ltr without any issues but you cannot hang about after mixing. When spread across the machine the exothermic reaction is much slower so doesn't happen.
To be honest you only need to wait a minute or two then pour, any bubbles you can get as they occur by flashing with blow torch.
Also the hardner type isnt a big deal. The extra slow hardener is good on large machines because gives plenty of time to find it's level n settle. However standard slow hardener works perfectly fine even on 10x5 machine provided the conditions are good.
However in all cases it's good idea not to touch the resin or remove the moats etc for at least a week, personally i leave mine 2 weeks before touching.
