Repairing a Bad Epoxy Pour

What happens here

After the initial torching, the main work is complete, but the epoxy needs to be monitored for several hours to ensure no new bubbles rise to the surface. Maintain the room temperature between 65°F and 80°F (18°C and 27°C) to facilitate proper curing. If any new bubbles appear, lightly re-torch them. This 'baby-sitting' process is critical to achieve a perfectly smooth and clear finish. Once cured, the countertop will be fully restored, and the mantelpiece will have a beautiful, durable epoxy coating.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly cured, bubble-free epoxy finish on both projects.

Tools and materials

  • Propane Torch — Spot-torching any new bubbles
  • Room Thermostat/HVAC — Maintaining optimal room temperature for curing
