Green Epoxy and Birch

Thanks for posting your experiments. I'm thinking about some pieces that need to be embedded in epoxy.

How do you squeeze/press out the inevitable air bubbles?

Hi Chip,
Thanks for the post and the rating. I don't do too much to get rid of air bubbles except that I notice if I use the epoxy as a gel coat (as on this piece) it smooths the material down nicely. I use a cheap acrylic paint brush and a light coat of epoxy and it blends out nicely. I also use a slow setting epoxy and perhaps that helps. The newest piece - Walnut w/ Green Epoxy is not as smooth a finish as this piece, but it's also mostly wood shavings, then I used the "paint-on-thin" coating before buffing with car wax. Gotta play!
