I'm not really well versed in epoxy usage, but in my experience you will likely need to thicken the epoxy somewhat to keep it from migrating out of the joint before it sets up. I mainly use T-88 (already pretty thick for epoxy) for various types of glue joints, and usually could do a better job if it was even more viscous.
Concrete blocks and some method of distributing the weight will probably work fine, but you just don't want to over-clamp and squeeze too much epoxy out.
