Why Bubbles Form When Mixing Epoxy AB Glue
| Cause | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Mixing too fast | Traps air, creates froth |
| Pouring too quickly | Air gets locked between layers |
| Cold materials | High viscosity traps bubbles |
| No resting time | Bubbles can’t rise and escape |
Step-by-Step Guide to Mix Epoxy AB Glue Without Bubbles
1. Warm the Bottles Slightly
Place Part A and B bottles in warm water (30–40°C) for 5–10 minutes to reduce viscosity and help air escape.
2. Measure Accurately
Use clean cups to measure 1:1 or 2:1 ratios exactly. Don’t eyeball it.
3. Mix Slowly in a Figure-8 Motion
Stir gently for 2–3 minutes with a flat spatula, scraping sides and bottom.
4. Let It Rest
Let the mixture sit for 3–5 minutes to release surface bubbles.
5. Pour in Thin Layers
Pour slowly down mold sides. For thicker pieces, layer in 2–5mm increments and torch gently between layers.
