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

Teak can be varnished. Just wipe it down with a clean rag soaked in acetone and apply varnish as soon as the acetone dries. You will have removed the surface oils. If you wait too long before applying the varnish, the oils will resurface. Bill Bina On 8/29/2016 2:52 PM, Petar Horvatic via Cn
