This question comes from Anne:

Hello everyone at my new, favorite place,

I am brand new at this so I have attached my first problem with my very first try at this.

Can you tell me what all these tiny dots are??? Please.

I read all I could on your website before this attempt and I got all the bubbles out but these seem like something else, plus the dots are evenly consistant through the whole pendant.

Any ideas, please?

Hi Anne,

Those are microbubbles in your resin. The easiest way I find to avoid the bubbles is to warm your resin before mixing and casting. This article shows a way to do it: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-resin-resin/resin-casting-in-cold-weather

Mine is a 2 part question about microbubbles,
1. Would it help to sit mixed resin on a cup/candle warmer?
2. What seems to work best for surface bubbles….heat gun or torch?
Let me say, i use epoxy resin on necklaces and earrings.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Delana,

You would do better to warm up the resin and hardener in a hot water bath before using. You can see what I’m talking about here: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-resin-resin/resin-casting-in-cold-weather

I have always used a heat gun for surface bubbles.
