 Hi, 

When I am sanding, on some of my bangle pieces there obviously must have been lots of air bubbles just inside the resin next to the mould (australian spelling!). So when I am sanding my pieces these tiny air bubbles become exposed and fill up with dust even though I sand under water. I cant seem to get the dust out of these tiny holes, I have tried pricking them with a needle but they dont seem to release. How can I get rid of this dust they make my pieces look like they have the measles!

Thanks, Sal

Hi Sally,

I have had this happen before too.  The only way I could get rid of the bubbles was to completely sand them off.
