What happens here

Immediately after spreading the epoxy, use a propane torch to gently pass over the entire surface. The heat from the torch will pop any air bubbles trapped in the epoxy, leading to a perfectly smooth, glass-like finish. While torching, a second person (e.g., the wife in the video) should follow closely with a strong light source, like a Milwaukee M18 LED work light, to identify any dry spots that need immediate attention before the epoxy begins to cure.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, bubble-free epoxy surface and ensure complete coverage.

Tools and materials

  • Milwaukee M18 LED Work Light Milwaukee — Illuminating the surface to identify dry spots and bubbles
  • Propane Torch Bernzomatic — Popping air bubbles in the epoxy
  • Rubber Gloves — Protecting hands from epoxy

What they say

Hide

There's two ways the pop bubbles. One is with a torch. The second one is with a heat gun. Don't use a heat gun. It blows too much air, moves the product around too much and dust and dust. And the torch is perfect cuz it just pops them. And you can see Frankie is not getting close. And Nikki's looking for any dry spots cuz once the product sets up, it's too late. You can't go back and touch up spots. It doesn't work. Jim, they're pretty much doing the whole process again. Yeah. Yeah. You basically Yeah. You start all over. You like the entire pore and the entire countertop. You can't go back after the fact and if you're a little low in a spot, fill that in. That nope. You start all over again. So, this is where it's real critical to do your due diligence and make sure
