why im getting these small bubles? after i lay resin and if i brush soft paper then clean all dusk stay inside... can someone advise what to do? or simply lay first layer epoxy then lay gc50 and to polish without brushing surface not to get dusk into tiny holes.

I have never worked with glass bubbles, neither with GC50 so I can't tell you more about that sorry...
I've made a video tutorial 3months ago, this might give you some idea's.
I've learned a lot out of this project, mainly not to rush things. A mistake I made
was wet sanding to fast after the resin "cured" The water caused some "clouds, marks" in between the layers.
working on an several other video's now and i'm carefully waiting in between the layers to have the resin "fully" cure. (I mean waiting 3-4 days inbetween)
I can follow the thinking of Fgayford telling you to add up some thickness without sanding in between and waiting for it to get a tacky state so the layers can
chemicaly bond on to each other, but never tested it...
The way I work can be compared by getting scratches and dents out of a part by adding 2K bondo...but with epoxy then
