Air bubbles in acrylic

[DonnaB]

Hi all

I've been mobile now for around 9 months all is going reasonably well and I'm just concentrating on acrylic at the moment. I'm having a constant problem with tiny air bubbles that I can't seem to get rid of - any ideas where I'm going wrong or any advice from you guys would be great. I'm currently using star nails acrylic system.

Thanks
Donnab

As you will see the main reasons are constant...having air in your brush to start off with, having too wet or too dry a mix ratio (liquid to powder), patting and working your product too much, and not lettting the bead rest for a second before you start to press it out.

Happy reading.

Thanks izzidoll

Ive read all the threads and advice on the links and have been much more careful with my brush and taking a little extra time on my L & P ratio and I do seem to have a lot less air bubbles now - still not perfect but ive got a lot more practice to do.:lol:
Thanks again
