You can minimize the air bubbles in epoxy coatings by applying to a warm surface and letting it cool with the epoxy on it, so the epoxy is drawn in to the surface instead of having the surface outgassing. A warming surface will generate small bubbles. Also, flaming the epoxy with just a light brush of a propane torch will pop most bubbles.
That said, I used Varathane semi-gloss and three strips of 1" grip tape cut to fit on each step. Epoxy is just too much hassle to refinish. http://members.shaw.ca/paradigm/steps.jpg Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC >
