Really nice for a first try with this resin. here’s something you can try next time. I remember in the old days when you’d poured the resin into the mould you stood the mould on the bandsaw & turned the saw on. The vibration forced the bubbles out. I also remember that when mixing the resin a slow stir created less bubbles than a fast stir. I used to use a pouring resining and I would pass a lighted blow torch over it to release the air bubbles. Hope it helps.
