Pot Melt Bubbles and Pits

Post by Mark Wright »

Is there any way to prevent or get rid of the dozens of small bubbles and pits on the surface of a pot melt? After sandblasting and a second fusing it looks better but the pits are still there.

I always hold my melts at around 1500 F for about 45 min to an hour.
