      Please can someone suggest something that will help? I am trying to cast pendants and eurobeads. I am measuring my resin (Castin’ Craft Easycast Clear Casting Epoxy), warming it, mixing carefully, ensuring there are no bubbles in my casts and when I return in the morning they are filled with microbubbles.they are tiny, tiny bubbles but all through it. I have tried using a dehumidifier, a heat lamp. I’m out of ideas! I had a similar issue with my Resin Obsession branded resin, which resolved when I realised I needed to warm it before mixing. But now this brand cant be shipped to me in New Zealand. I was due to launch my first saleable pieces this month but I just can’t work out what is causing it. I can’t attach a picture here unfortunately to give a better idea but I can’t present pieces the way they are coming out. Any ideas please?

      Sometimes a temperature difference between the resin and mold can cause this. Try gently warming the mold with a heat gun before casting and see if that helps.
