Is there something I can add to the mix or do to the mix to increase my working time (pot-life).

I don't think this is as easy to do as it would be if you were using a polyester resin, but if you work (or cure) in a cooler area, that should retard the curing time and presumably the working time a bit too.
You might want to check out the info on this page though, or it might have links to more info about using epoxy resins that might help:

P.S. I don't think it's advised to use less hardener than half and half for good results (in fact, *exact* measuring is usually urged... epoxy resins are different from polyester resins in that way.)

figure out which is the base and which is the hardener. use half the hardener.
