Q: How Do I Get Rid Of Bubbles?

A:  Without question, the best way to take care of bubbles is with an Artist’s Torch. Whether you use a handheld butane torch or a bigger propane torch for bigger projects, the flame from a torch is hot enough to thin out the resin, allowing bubbles to escape.
It’s your best bet against bubbles every time!

Some more handy tips:

- Seal anything that may contain air - like wood or inkjet prints. 

- Make sure the resin is at least at room temperature. You can give cold resin a warm water bath if you like by placing the unopened resin and hardener bottles in a warm water bath for 20 minutes or so, drying them off thoroughly before you measure and mix.

- Stir your resin mixture slowly: whipping it will induce more bubbles. 

- Pour your resin out slowly and pour close to the surface. 

- Pour in 1/8" layers: if you pour thicker than this, bubbles won’t have a chance to escape or get torched out. 

- Always use a torch to get rid of bubbles: heat guns just can’t match the heat of a flame.

If you follow this advice you should have a bubble-free piece everytime!
