    Mix the hardener in to the resin, then pop the tub in a pressure vessel. Extract the air to create a bit of vacuum, and most of the bubbles should come out. It is a bit of a crap shoot getting the timing & vacuum right without it blowing up in side the vessel. Once the bubbles have gone, pour the resin in gently and try not to introduce any more air.
    I suppose , but for a novice I can see the headlines .  I had a pressure pot which was handy but still preferred the flame thrower ...

    I hope the OP now can see why some things are expensive for a reason

    Ive got a heat gun... On the videos it looks like they just go over the table quickly to get rid of the bubbles so I would not be sat there thinking I was Rambo. 

    I understand they are expensive for a reason, £1,300 is a lot more than I would spend on a desk though.
