I use alumilite epoxy, I mix slowly (for 5-6 minutes), I let the epoxy sit for 5 minutes once mixed to allow bubbles to rise. When I apply the epoxy to my tumbler there are no bubbles in the medicine cup. I used a butane torch to pop whatever bubbles I may not see once the cup is spinning. After 24 hours I still find bumps/ points in the epoxy. I sand it down, wash it with dawn and let it air dry before I do another coat, but it happens every time, and I don’t not know what to do. Any ideas?

Hi Alexis,

I’m not clear on what’s going on. Are you finding bubbles in your cured resin?

[Alexis]

Yes they are in the cured epoxy

I’m sorry this is happening to you. This article explains the reasons why you get bubbles in resin and what you can do about it: https://resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/resin-bubbles/
