I would like to ask some tips how to fix bubbles in a completely cured resin?
Unfortunately some bubbles has showed up at the end of the first stage so i couldn't fix it at that moment because it was partially cured.
After the finish of the second stage and cured completely, i have drilled some test holes into an off-cut piece to check what's going to happen when i filled it with resin again. I cleaned the holes with white spirit and vacuum cleaner so the holes were fully clean. But i am not really satisfied with the results. Is there any way to fix those bubbles?
I attached 2 pictures (bubbles and test holes) I have used Glasscast 50

Is this my best bet for something like this? Got a bit over zealous with a heat gun and kind of cooked the resin as bubbles were coming out from under the caps.

Good Morning, Thank you for getting in contact. It seems as though all of the bubbles are on the surface of the resin. To repair this, you will need to completely sand the surface until all marks...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately a few of the bubbles actually go all the way down to the surface of the table and between the caps so sanding would not be very feasible. Would drilling down into....

Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately you will need to drill down into the resin and pour more in to fill the gaps. I am sorry I don't have better news for you.
