Bubbles in Epoxy Tables: Simple Prevention & Fixes
Bubbles form for many reasons: cold resin, damp wood, fast-mixing, or thick pours. Here's how to avoid them:
Pre-Pour Tips:
Use dry or sealed wood
Warm resin & workspace to similar temperatures
Mix slowly with a wide container
Let resin sit 2-3 minutes before pouring
During Pour:
Pour in thin layers (¼"–½") for detailed tables
Gently torch surface 6–8 inches above to pop bubbles
Use a toothpick to release trapped air along edges
Cover while curing to keep dust out
For Difficult Projects:
Use a pressure/vacuum chamber before pouring
Time final coats when previous layer is tacky
A little preparation creates a crystal-clear finish!
