How do I ensure a bubble-free, clear resin pour?

Key Steps for a Clear, Bubble-Free Finish

• Mix Slowly: Stir your resin and hardener gently to avoid creating air bubbles. Quick or harsh mixing is a common cause of trapped air.
• Thin Layer Pours: Pour resin in thin layers, ideally no more than the maximum recommended by the manufacturer. This allows bubbles to rise and escape.
• Use Heat Carefully: After pouring, use a heat gun or torch briefly over the resin surface to help release trapped bubbles. Avoid excessive heat, which can damage the resin or cause overheating.

Choosing the Right Resin and Tools

For thin shelves up to 2cm thick, “Trasparente” – Multipurpose Clear Epoxy Resin is suitable, offering ultra-clear results for small- to medium-sized projects. For thicker pours, such as deep resin shelves up to 5cm, choose EpoxyTable 5-Five. To ensure a polished, flat finish and easy mould release, consider lining your frame with Shiny Shield Glossy Release Film.

When Attention to Detail Matters Most

Bubbles and cloudiness are most visible when working with transparent or coloured-tint resin shelves. Dust particles and excessive agitation can further spoil your finish. Work in a clean, dust-free room and take your time through every stage for the best clarity.
