      Are they bubbles or something else? Could it be lint or dust?

      I had the same issue (I think) I had a bunch of tiny bubbles (maybe less than 1/8 of a millimeter each in diameter of the bubble) in my cured resin that appear to be randomly scattered at different levels throughout the resin layer. I would usually sand it down and repair but these microscopic bubbles look to be as deep as the very bottom of the bottom of the pour. (I do layered paintings with epoxy resin) Ive used a butane torch after pouring and it looks to be completely clear and I also covered the piece as well for curing. Maybe it is particles left from sanding the prior layer?

        Yes, it could be particles from sanding, especially if you didn’t clear your piece before pouring the next layer. A baby wipe works well.

        These tiny particles are seen in the mixing and pouring of the cast into the mold Warmed both parts of the resin mixture to try and get rid of them
