tiny air bubbles

I am getting tiny air bubbles when rolling out the epoxy regardless of what type of roller.  These can be reduced but not eliminated when using a heat gun to remove them.  Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

RE: tiny air bubbles

   You will always get air bubbles when rolling epoxy no matter what type of roller you use. Try tipping them out with a flat foam brush, i.e., after rolling gently pull the foam brush, I use 2" ones, across the epoxy and the bubbles will pop. Don't wet the brush first, it'll pick up a bit of epoxy as you're tipping out and that's fine.

   Yes, rolling slowly is key, as well as using the proper roller cover. Not that I think you're not...good luck. Sanding is therapy without the meds...
