First Epoxy Application and Bubble Removal
At 4:12 in
A bad Epoxy Job on Our DIY Live Edge Kitchen countertop ... how to do Epoxy repair Pt3
What happens here
The epoxy resin is carefully poured onto the prepared countertop surface from a mixing bucket. Using a squeegee, the epoxy is then spread evenly across all flat horizontal surfaces. For vertical edges and backsplashes, a regular brush (not a foam brush) is used to apply and smooth the epoxy, ensuring full coverage and a uniform layer. Immediately after application, a propane torch (NOT a heat gun) is used to gently pass over the epoxy surface, causing any rising air bubbles to pop, ensuring a smooth, clear finish. Teamwork is highly recommended for large surfaces to ensure thorough and timely bubble removal.
Goal: Apply an even first coat of epoxy and meticulously remove all air bubbles
