I'm getting bubbles in my epoxy projects they're all pretty similar to this. More details below but can anybody tell me what might be causing this?
I'm clearing out about a quarter inch of space and then filling it up about halfway with epoxy. Each time I do this I keep getting bubbles and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. This epoxy is even supposed to be bubble free so I'm sure it is user error this is my first few times working with epoxy.
According to the directions I'm supposed to mix part a and b for about 3 minutes and then mix in the color powder. I've tried using a heat gun but I ended up making the epoxy smoke and I still couldn't clear the bubbles beforehand. I tried a small torch but as you can see and the green epoxy that also did not work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using pine wood that I have burnt and then just now sealed with the green one before I poured the epoxy. I sealed it and let it sit for a few days and then I poured. At first I was thinking air bubbles from the wood coming up.
