Part 1 - The Basics
Air bubbles occur naturally as part of the mix process; in low temperatures the mix will hold more bubbles and they are harder to disperse; ensure accurate volume is mixed as per instructions; ensure you mix for recommended time frame - there are no short cuts; if you apply heat source to disperse air bubbles remember that the resins within the rod blank are heat sensitive and can either breakdown or catch fire.
