    Having problems getting hardener 209 in my country.
    Do you think I can get away with using 207 (Extra clear fabric applicationand clear coating)? It has slightly longer working and cure time.
    If I preheat epoxy, hardener and workshop and super-quickly mix the epoxy and make tha pour? By heating I mean getting it more liquid and better flowing-leveling. But heating also shortens the working time. So the question is to heat or not to heat? How long is the rough time-window for the EPOXY to be able to self-level?

    Have a read through this http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/
    The 209 give you about 8-10 hours for it to level out. It won't level out in one hour.

    If you can't do it with epoxy then you will have to use shims instead.
