In Response To: Re: Epoxy: Fisheyes everywhere (Rob Macks)

Rob, I'm wondering if fisheyes are part of the nature of the beast in using an adhesive as a coating. I've applied epoxy where I was sure fisheyes would develp and they didn't and others when I tried to do everything right. Yes, greasy pizza finger will generate fisheyes, or silicone and suspect solvents but I wonder if there is something that could be added to epoxy to reduce the tendency to pull away from areas. Do epoxy paints suffer from fisheyes as often as coating with low viscosity epoxy?
