skin,

I wouldn't disassemble the one you have built. I was just concerned that the base assembly would fully support the weight of the Combo Mix in the inner container. Moving the support "rails" more inward would seem to be more desirable.

In looking at your photo again, you could simply "squeeze" the 2 sections a bit more together, overlapping them another 2 inches. This would place the 2 horizontal support rails inward another inch, which should support the inner container contact area better.

p.s. Also, in looking at your overflow holes, they appear to be flush with the top of the Aeration Bench support assembly. They should be 1/2" below the top of the assembly. You always want to maintain a minimum 1/2" air gap.
