Slowly stir partially filled containers to prevent entrapping excess air in the coating.
Air bubble roller popper for floor coatings.
Concrete that has not been cured properly and is soft punky.
Various nap roller covers have air within them.
Woven shed resistant rollers are recommended.
For example moisture cured urethane mcu coatings that dry and cure by reaction with atmospheric moisture and other coating types i e aliphatic polyurethanes that are formulated with moisture sensitive components can also bubble.
Always use a jiffy mixer and medium to slow speeds.
Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate applicator.
Air moving in and out of the concrete slab with changes in temperature and barometric pressure.
Effectively remove air bubbles from an epoxy coating using acetone spray technique.
Aides in flow out and leveling.
If there is a very noticeable amount of air bubbles during application try slowing down application speed.
Follow directions for mixing and using primer.
Use this technique for removing air bubbl.
We recommend saturating your 9 or 18 roller cover in the product and then rolling it and make it.
This is wrong repairing bubbles once cured is very difficult or nearly impossible without needing to re coat.
Spike rollers can be used if bubbles appear but may not completely remove them.
Little pinholes in the floor.
If air bubbles are present in coating allow to sit briefly before pouring on the floor.
Eliminate any source of direct air blowing onto the surface.
Some people mistakenly assume that they appear later once the floor has cured.
This can often prevent the outgassing bubble from forming and allow the primer to fill in the pinhole that would otherwise be created.
After applying coatings with a squeegee you should never take a dry roller cover and roll out the floor.
Use a primer system on all porous concrete.
Bubbles sometimes form within the coating or on the backside of the coating film.

Always follow recommended nap and type of cover.
Rapid stirring for a prolonged period can introduce air bubbles into the paint that might persist in the dried paint coat.
If outgassing bubbles are seen during the primer application a metal porcupine roller can be used to pop the surface tension as bubbles start to develop.
These pinholes are caused by air bubbles formed in the epoxy coating during the application process.
Fixes during prime coat installation.
