Remove Air Bubbles with Torch

What happens here

Immediately after spreading the epoxy, or within the specified working time, use a small propane torch. Hold the torch approximately 6-12 inches above the epoxy surface and move it in a continuous, sweeping motion. The heat from the torch will thin the epoxy slightly and cause any trapped air bubbles, especially those generated during mixing or pouring, to rise to the surface and pop. Avoid holding the torch in one spot for too long, as this can scorch the epoxy or the underlying wood. This process contributes significantly to the crystal-clear, glass-like finish. While torching, ensure good ventilation and be mindful of any flammable materials near the work area. This step might produce fumes, requiring air circulation.

Goal: After applying the epoxy, use a propane torch to gently pass over the surface, which causes trapped air bubbles to rise and pop, creating a smoother finish.
