At that point, all you can do is get rid of the air bubbles.
Besides... lets say you had an E/G mixture with the perfect viscosity at the time of pouring. Then somehow, using vibration, all the aggregate fit together perfectly and sank to the bottom. Wouldn't you end up with a pool of empty epoxy at the top?
