How Do I Get Bubbles Out Of Epoxy Resin?
Posted on 6 Feb 15:43
Without question, the best way to get bubbles out of epoxy resin is with an Artist’s Torch. Whether you use a handheld butane torch or a bigger propane torch for larger projects, the flame from a torch is hot enough to thin out the resin, allowing bubbles to escape.

Some More Handy Tips To Prevent Bubbles:
- Seal anything that may contain air, like wood, inkjet prints or paper with a brush on or spray sealant.
- Make sure the resin is at least at room temperature ( 72-77F or 23-25C ).
You can give cold resin a warm water bath if you like by placing the unopened resin and hardener bottles in a warm water bath for 20 minutes or so, drying them off thoroughly before you measure and mix.
- Stir your resin mixture slowly: whipping it will induce more bubbles.
- Pour your resin out slowly and pour close to the surface.
- Pour in 1/8" layers: if you pour thicker than this, bubbles won’t have a chance to escape to the top or get torched out.
- Always use a torch to get rid of bubbles: heat guns just can’t match the heat of a flame.
