Bubbles in epoxy and/or resin

[fullthrottle24]

I was flipping through the channels when I came across someone making a pub sign that they then took to a professional to have a resin put over it. The interesting part was how they removed the bubbles. They used a blow torch just over the top of them and that did the trick. They stated it was more about the carbon dioxide than the heat. I was wondering if this would work for epoxy flooring too?

You can also use vacuum to remove bubbles. I bet the torch is a combination of heat lowering the viscosity and the movement of air reducing the surface tension.
