Tips & Tricks
To minimize bubbles in resin:
1. **Mix Slowly:** Stir the resin slowly to avoid introducing air. Stir for at least 2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom.
2. **Use a Torch or Heat Gun:** Pass a torch or heat gun over the surface to burst bubbles. Do this shortly after pouring, but be cautious not to scorch the resin.
3. **Warm Resin and Molds:** Warm the resin and molds before pouring to reduce viscosity and help bubbles rise and pop more easily.
4. **Pour in Thin Layers:** Pour resin in thin layers to allow trapped air to escape more effectively.
5. **De-gas if Possible:** If using a vacuum chamber, degas the resin before pouring to remove air bubbles.
6. **Avoid Overmixing:** Overmixing can introduce more air. Mix only as much as needed.
Remember to follow the specific instructions for the resin you're using.
