My plug is done and I'm about ready to lay up a mold. This will be used for prepreg so I'm using premium resin tech rdr-1902 high temp surface coat and rdr-3212 resin. I have some concerns with the surface coat. It's a bit thicker than I imagined but I guess that's good so it won't run, however after mixing a small test batch, it seems pretty slow to release air bubbles. As you can see in the pic of my plug, there are areas with vertical walls and even a few areas of negative angle. For air to release from the surface coat as I brush it on, these bubbles need to rise to the surface to pop right? So any areas that are beyond vertical with a negative angle, I would think are gonna have a hard time releasing air. I picture a bubble just rising up against the surface of the plug and staying there. I'm wondering if I should apply the surface coat in partial areas with the plug oriented so surface coat I'm applying is face up, allowing better release of air bubbles.  Do I need to bother? Or can I just brush it on the whole thing as it sits in the pic? Looks like pics got rotated 90 degrees, the pointed nose is up

Finished the post cure. Looked good afterwards other than some slight dimple looking shapes in the light. Looks like the surface coat softened and moved around a bit. Went super slow on the cure, less than 0.1 degree per minute. Started sanding with some 1000 grit, the texture went away pretty quickly so no big deal there. Then I hit it with some polish and a bunch of little microscopic voids were highlighted by the white polish.  Not sure what to do now, pretty bummed. I have a feeling sanding deeper isnt going to get rid of them. Not sure where I went wrong. Even if I started over, not sure what I would do differently. This isn't one or 2 significant voids, this is probably a few hundred little tiny ones. Big enough that I can catch the tip of a razor on.
