This last time I put it on like paint loaded up the roller and rolled it on. The bubbles came from the roller it's self esp on the second flattening pass to get the dry crack between passes and knock down ridges as the epoxy dose not self level very well. the mix pot has very few bubbles in it.

: Maybe nothing but how are you mixing the epoxy? On my first boat I
: did it like beating eggs and made bubbles that way, then eased
: up realizing I had time. Second problem I had was over working
: the roller or brush, I couldn't leave well enough alone and
: thought going over it more with the roller would be better.....I
: caused more bubbles and defects.
