How do I prevent bubbles in my resin markers?

Air bubbles can blur the clarity of your resin page markers, but with the right techniques, you can achieve crisp, professional-looking results. Here’s how to minimise bubbles in your next project.

Mixing for Fewer Bubbles

Start by mixing your resin and hardener slowly and thoroughly. Rapid stirring can trap air, so take your time and scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing vessel. A careful approach during this stage prevents bubbles from forming in the first place.

Settling and Pouring Techniques

Once mixed, let your resin sit for a minute or two. This helps any bubbles rise to the surface before you pour the resin into your page marker mould. Pour the resin gently from one side and in a thin stream—this simple trick lets air escape as resin fills the shape.

Popping Surface Bubbles

If a few bubbles appear on the surface after pouring, use a toothpick to burst them gently. Alternatively, a quick pass with a gentle heat source, such as a craft heat gun or a lighter held at a distance, can help release bubbles without disturbing your work. Just be cautious not to overheat or scorch the resin.

Choosing a resin formulated for optimal degassing—such as the Evershine Collection kit—can also make the bubble removal process easier for beginners and experienced makers alike.

When This Matters Most
