    Air bubbles in my acrylic

    Tammy Taylor instructors . Also I don’t think the bead is too wet .

If I use a bead any dryer then...

    Air bubbles in my acrylic

    The last picture I posted the ratio was just right & that did not make difference . Also as I previously stated I’ve tried several ratios , they were no different . I will keep trying until I figure out the problem whatever it is. Thanks soo much ladies for your advice .
