5 Ways to Get Bubbles Out of Resin | Resin ART

Today I ’m going to introduce 5 easy ways to get bubbles out of resin
1. Wait for the bubbles to disappear
2. Use hot water of about 60 degrees to accelerate the bubbles out from the resin
3. Use heated coasters to accelerate the bubble out from resin, it is very simple
4. Use lighter or hair dryer to heat the resin surface to eliminate air bubbles
5. Use a vacuum pump to quickly remove bubbles from the resin

There's a sixth way. If you're using silicone moulds you can warm the mould in the oven before pouring the resin in it. Take the mould out of the oven, let it air for a few seconds and then pour the resin in. The warmth of the mould will get rid of the bubbles in the resin.

I tried the hacks that didn’t need a gadget and was unsuccessful. However, I accidentally discovered that by warming up part A and Part B in their separate bottles worked like a charm! I was cleaning up my workspace and moved the bottles to the window where the morning sun comes through. When I poured both parts and stirred up, I found my resin to be clearer than ever before

This is the Best Comment Section I've ever visited...I see it as a round table, you guys are just talkin like you've known each other for years. Thanks All you guys!!! Too much fun 🐞

Also mixing fast will cause bubbles and when pouring your hardener and resin you should pour it against the side of your cup instead of directly in to avoid causing more bubbles.

My first resin pour was in 1974 omg. BEST way if you make art to sell and need to be very productive: HEAT room to 72 degrees or more, HEAT resin in a warm water bath - I even add my container to water bath, pour in resin on side of container, pour in hardener on side of container, stir slowly in figure 8 scraping sides, bottom, and stir stick for at least 3 minutes, depending on resin brand. Voila!

[gabrielleannacormierart]

Interesting! Though working with larger pieces, I think I’d be concerned that my resin would set faster than I would like it to set. Still, I do believe storing the resin and hardener(prior to mixing) in a warm area could definitely be helpful. The comments on this post were especially helpful. 😊

I always found that a good way to prevent bubbles is to take more care while mixing - mix more slowly and for a longer time - you can achieve equally thorough mixing while introducing almost no air and the overall time you take out of the resin's pot life can be similar as when you mix vigorously and then try to get air bubbles out again.

[johnslugger]

Storing part "A" and "B" in foam insulation with coaster warmers in both storage chambers makes the resin thinner so it mixes easier and helps it last for up to 7 -12 years of storage. A few bubbles form in the first place when using pre-warmed resins. Polishing the surface with a propane torch is a "MUST-DO" step in any case since pouring creates a few extra bubbles at the edges and corners.

Learned a nice trick - heat. But flame might not always be desirable because the chemicals may be flammable. As a MicroSection Tech, I've made plenty of resins and mounted quite a few specimens. Air bubbles were always an issue. The way I removed bubbles was to incorporate a centrifuge. Would drive resin deep into the mold and molded parts while forcing the air out. And it took typically 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the part being encapsulated.

The vacuum chamber - I wouldn't recommend that. I saw outgassing going on in your video. Meaning there was no air bubble but one appeared as the gasses were pulled out of the chemicals. And sometimes that can leave even more bubbles.

Oh, and your chamber lid had a crack, which appeared to be worse at the end. Vacuum chambers can be dangerous when they burst. Sure they implode, but that just means high velocity shrapnel flying around and bouncing back up in your face. I would not recommend vacuum.

by the time I wait for any of these methods my resin is already curing

[stephaniesousawpg]

Haha! #5! Yes, because we all have a vacuum pump laying around somewhere. Thanks for the tips!

[VIP-Princess]

The hair dye gave me the answer I needed cause I was wondering who I would get "flesh" color in my resin and how to get the bubbles out thanks mate ur a life safer🙏🏼❤️

[spiritualcompass]

It depends on the resin used. I've had unpleasant experiences with two resins when placed in water. I actually prefer the heat gun (blower). Thank you for sharing. ♥️👍

[rad_lobster]

Always use gloves when handling resin, folks!

[aprildegele]

Here's one. If you use epoxy with wood, say in a table or jewelry box, you need to paint a layer on the wood first and let it set. UV, regular, doesn't matter except for cure time. Or, you can use shellac first (the clear sanding sealer type). The goal is to coat the wood so it doesn't off-gas. Wood is porous and has trapped air. Wood breathes. You can pour epoxy, flame out the bubbles, and come back well after you can do anything about it to find bubbles. That's the wood off-gassing. Heating the epoxy in this case, no matter the method, won't work. The issue is the wood breathing. Seal your wood, preferably with epoxy, and you won't have a problem. If you also fill any seams with UV resin, you can set it under a strong light or take it outside under a sunny sky for about 30 minutes. That way, when you pour, no leaks either. Never rely on the wood glue in a joint to keep the resin where you want it. You'll be sad.

[BogdanBelcea]

You guys do know that heating up the activated resin SIGNIFICANTLY accelerates the hardening shortening the working time and depending on you batch size and temperature can auto-ignite.

[I.love.chease]

Sir, that lighter looks like a lethal weapon

[ThyFellowServant]

I recently created black resin to coat a guitar using black alcohol ink. Used about 50 drops of ink in a small cup of mix. Yes it made the mix thinner, which was good for my application, but the alcohol made the mix bubble free in the cup before pouring. Worked great.

[animalyze]

I was gonna say 3 and 5, 3 is much cheaper and only a few minutes wait. You can also heat the molds to 150F or so (Check the temp limits on your mold silicone) then pour the resin in and the bubbles disappear as you are pouring. It works really well just make sure of the heat toleration's of the material you plan to use first. 3 has been a go to for me since they came out and a usb humb can make it easy to have multiple colors going at once for whatever you may need.

Thank u for making this video. It's very helpful information to me since I'm trying to make something using epoxy resin.
