I used the same technique on my AT14, same as Pygmy manual suggests, slanted dam and all. I mixed up 3oz at a time and poured half in bow and half in the stern so it never got really hot.

: IMO ... I think this whole thing of doing end-pours is made more complex than
: need be. I think it's nuts to stand the darn boat on end and then pour in
: the epoxy. Before the deck and hull are joined I just make a little foam
: dam in the hull and deck if needed, pour in the epoxy, let it cure and
: scrape it level. When I mate the deck to the hull I just glue the
: resulting flat surfaces together. It works just like Jay says, it's very
: simple.
