Randy, Thanks for putting this tutorial together. You inspired me to cut some 1/8" slabs of some Southern Utah Plume agate. It's completely different when sliced so thin. I can't wait to find something white to back it with. I hope to follow this up with a picture or two.

To avoid bubbles in the 330 it's best to mix it with the mixing stick against the mixing surface, if you lift it you can get bubbles. To get rid of the few unavoidable bubbles, after applying the epoxy to the base wave a butane flame over it quickly, it will pull the bubbles out.
Thanks for the tutorial Randy.
