First things first, let's give our epoxy resin the warm welcome it deserves. Cozy it up in a hot water bath for about 10 minutes before you introduce it to its partner in shine, the hardener. Remember, sealed containers are a must – we wouldn’t want a soggy start to our bubble-busting party. This little spa treatment for your resin will make it less thick, so those bubbles can rise and pop, like they're jumping out of a hot tub.

Now, let's turn up the heat with a little dance I like to call the 'Propane Torch Tango'. Sweep across the surface with a propane torch – not a heat gun, mind you. Why? Because the CO2 helps those bubbles say their goodbyes a tad more effectively. But this dance is a quick step – too long and you might find your resin curing faster than you can say “bubble trouble”.

Keep it comfortable, folks! Working in a warm environment (70-80F) ensures that your tumbler epoxy stays as smooth as your favorite jazz tune. If it's too chilly, the resin turns into that sticky guest who just won't leave, clinging onto those bubbles for dear life.

When mixing your epoxy resin and hardener, channel your inner sloth – slow and steady wins the race. And your choice of tool? Consider a sleek stainless steel or smooth silicone, not the porous wood sticks that could harbor bubble-breeding secrets.

Suit up with nitrile gloves that hug your fingertips like a glove should. Loose gloves are a big no-no, like socks with sandals – just don’t do it.

Apply. Smooth. Leave it be. Fiddling with your resin is like poking a sleeping bear – eventually, it’s going to get grumpy, and then come the bubbles.

Maintain a warm hug around your tumbler throughout the curing process. A space heater or heat lamp can be your best friend here, ensuring that the temperature stays as consistent as your love for crafting.

When in doubt, spritz it out! A little isopropyl alcohol (91%) can work like magic, coaxing those bubbles to the surface faster than gossip spreads at a family reunion.
