When mixing epoxy resin ,is ther anyway of getting the bubbles out (an additive) or do you have to let it stand for say 10 minutes before applying?

RE: EPOXY RESIN
Good Luck
Composites and Airplanes - what was I thinking?
There are gremlins in the autoclave!
RE: EPOXY RESIN
A few drops of acetone or other solvent will flush all air out of the resin very rapidly under vacuum. When vacuum is released all bubbles will be completely gone because any residual bubbles are acetone vapor bubbles which will condense and go into solution.
RE: EPOXY RESIN
I seem to recall that the addition of carbon dioxide as the vacuum is released would encourage any residual bubbles to burst. Does this have any basis in fact or is it an urban myth?

RE: EPOXY RESIN
Reveiw you rprocess as well, I have found many times that more air is added in application and vac of the system is not as productive.

I do hand layups with glass/plywood/cypress. Tipping off the resin and vibrating the laminating table help.
