I’m still a beginner with resin. I’ve noticed that most people are anxious to get rid of bubbles in resin, but I’d like to make a kind of miniature aquarium, so I’m wondering how one can create bubbles in resin to emulate water.

Hi Ron,

So are you trying to create a ‘champagne’ effect or were you wanting to strategically place the bubbles?

[Ron Leming]

Well. I’d like to be able to place the bubbles where I want them to duplicate like the aerator effect in aquariums and so on. Not the champagne, effect, though the could be interesting if you get differently colored bubbles.

What I would try then is to use a pipette to introduce air into the resin once it starts to thicken. https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/tools-and-supplies/products/pipettes-qty-20 It will take a little practice on your part as the bubble will still want to rise. Getting it to stay in place means placing the bubble when the resin is still liquid enough for you to introduce the pipette, but so thick the bubble can’t move.
