400 1225 60
275 1460 10
AFAP 900 60
100 700 0

Bubble trouble
I am consistently getting large bubbles when I do simple two layer pieces? I place a large solid piece on bottom with smaller elements on top. My schedule;
400 1225 20
600 1480 60
AFAP 900 60
100 700 0
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
