What happens here

After pouring and spreading the epoxy, use a torch (such as a propane torch with a drill attachment) to quickly and evenly pass over the entire epoxy surface. The heat from the torch will bring any trapped air bubbles to the surface, where they will pop, creating a smooth and clear finish. This process must be done carefully, keeping the torch moving to avoid scorching the epoxy or the wood underneath. The narrator notes that a torch is more effective than a heat gun for this purpose, as it disperses bubbles faster and causes less movement of the resin.

Goal: Eliminate air bubbles from the epoxy surface for a smooth finish.
