White Dry Erase Surface Coming Unglued; Leading To Bubbles, Bumps

Some bubbles are a result of mixing, but after you've poured and spread the resin over your piece, you may notice even more bubbles rising to the surface. This is because ArtResin was formulated with a bubble release agent to encourage bubbles to surface so they can be torched out before the resin starts to thicken and cure.There are a few other reasons why bubbles may pop up. Here are the most common and some tips on how to prevent them:

Porous, organic materials like wood, leaves, fabric and even some soft, lower quality papers contain air and moisture, which is absorbed and emitted depending on the climate. These materials will continue to breathe," releasing air even after being covered with liquid resin. This is called off-gassing and it results in air bubbles in the resin, sometimes hours after you have poured and torched.
Sealing your work, prior to resining, will help prevent this.

For paper, leaves, fabric etc, you can use either a brush on or a spray sealant.
For a sturdier material like wood, you can use a brush-on sealant or even a thin coat of ArtResin, rubbed in with gloved hands (see our video How To Resin A Charcuterie Board to see how it's done.)

You may still get a bubble or two (in which case you will need to sand down your piece and apply another coat) but sealing will help to minimize bubbles.

On occasion, you may find there is a reaction between ArtResin, photo paper and the adhesive used to mount the photo to your substrate.
This reaction can result in ... you guessed it - bubbles!
Sealing with a brush-on or spray sealant will create a barrier between your photo and the resin, to prevent bubbles from forming as your piece is curing.3) Cold temperatures

The ideal temperature for both your ArtResin and your workspace is slightly warmer than room temperature: 75-85F or 24-30C. Room temperature ArtResin epoxy resin is clear, with a beautiful, honey-like consistency. Cold resin, on the other hand, is thick, clumpy, and difficult to work with. It takes on a cloudy, milky appearance due to thousands of cold-induced micro-bubbles, which you will never be able to torch out.

Thankfully, epoxy resin is forgiving, meaning that many problems (including bubbles) can be fixed with a simple sanding and re-pour.

Here's what you need to do:

Wearing a mask, sand down the entire surface of your piece, paying particular attention to sanding out bubbles. The purpose of sanding is to create some tooth for the fresh resin layer to adhere to, so it's very important that you sand the entire piece and use a coarse sandpaper, like 80 grit. After you've sanded, your piece will look scratched, but don't worry: the ArtResin will fill in those scratch marks and your piece will look crystal clear again.

Use a damp paper towel to wipe off the sanding dust. Wipe as many times as necessary - your surface needs to be absolutely clear of sanding residue before you pour your fresh layer of resin. Feel free to use a can of compressed air as a little extra insurance, especially if your piece has any nooks and crannies where dust may get trapped.

Mix a fresh batch of carefully measured and thoroughly mixed ArtResin as directed, and apply a fresh coat of resin over your piece. Spread, torch out bubbles, cover and wait 24 hrs for a touch-dry cure, and 72 hrs for a full cure.

Use room temperature ArtResin on your sealed piece to help prevent bubbles ... and if you already have pesky bubbles in your cured resin, follow our simple steps to get rid of them. Here's Joanne with a re-cap!
