This video is an overview of all of the major ways to remove bubbles from resin. It covers everything from avoiding bubbles while mixing & pouring, removing bubbles using an ultrasonic cleaner, vacuum chamber or pressure pot, and what to do about surface bubbles. This is a great place to start for beginners but may also be helpful for more advanced resin casters too.

I first cover the cheaper or free options to reduce bubbles in resin before moving on to more expensive methods. These tips are suitable for both epoxy and polyurethane resins; for polyester resins please do your own research before attempting these as I'm not experienced with it

    That was such a concise but comprehensive video! No need to try to fast forward to certain bits, it was all straight to the point and relative 😊 Plus, I've been using resin for ages and never heard of the ultrasonic method. I will definitely look into that since I actually only ever mix small amounts. Thanks!

    Your video is a project saver! I kept getting tiny bubbles that set like foam in my pours. I've been experimenting with different things to get rid of them. Your rubbing alcohol spray suggestion did it! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH
