Bubble buster

I use this Mudhole product occasionally to get rid of stubborn micro bubbles in epoxy finish. Is there a simple DIY alternative for this product?

Use a finish mixer. If you don't put bubbles on, you don't have to heat them out.

Roman,
I have never used a bubble buster.

Rather, I use my industrial heat gun used sparingly has always removed any bubbles or micro bubbles from my finish.

Take care

Yes, of course, there are many ways to deal with those bubbles and everybody does it differently. It is not very often that I need to use the "bubble buster" product, but sometimes it helps. If not mistaken I remember seeing a post on this forum about a simple DIY alternative for it, so this is why I asked.

Hello Roman.

I did a search using "All Dates" and this came up as the 39th thread.

39. Re: Bubble buster
I can't find the SDS sheet for the Bubble buster but I found on another fourm where someone said the MSDS says methanol and proprietary additive. The product is listed as flammable so I am suprised Mudhole doesn't have a SDS listed for the product on there website. MSDS has now been replaced with SDS if you where wondering. Not all the time, but a lot of the time Proprietary additive means water

Hope this helps.

Can always use a butane micro torch such as a Bernzomatic.
