- Thoroughly mix the epoxy resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions, avoiding the incorporation of air into the mixture.
- Use a steady flow during the casting to prevent the formation of air bubbles.
- Use a tool such as a gas torch or a hot air gun to eliminate surface bubbles.
- Use bubble-proof molds or subject the mixture to a vacuum chamber to remove bubbles before the curing process.
