I made a table with an inlay. Do I need to seal any gaps between the inlay and the table before applying this to avoid bubbles rising?

What did you inlay with? Directions for the product say wood needs to be sealed to avoid bubbles. I covered a wood table with a glass mosaic, grouted around the glass, sealed with a mosaic sealer and then poured the resin over it. There were still bubbles so I used a crafting propane torch to work out the bubbles which is also explained in the product's instructions. Bubbles are inevitable and need to be "blown" out.

even working with a good Polly requires some sealing. a standard sanding sealer should solve your concerns

If you do it in the bathroom with the hot water running, you're not going to see any bubble. The steam will make it stick add you lay it, giving no time for air to settle. The more stream the better because it allows you to move the screen protector around until you find the desired position. Once it dries up (about 30 minutes) it won't move. Source? Done it countless times. Good luck!

I have painted the table myself. So just forget the answer I had given to the question ask of me. I do not want any problems. So everything is fine. Thank you for the response to my comment.

Hi! The project I bought this for was to fill in a surface that had a border so I didn't have that issue. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

heat will help to thin the resin which makes the bubbles rise to the top so probably will. Best to get a heated jewelry cleaner (if its a small amount) pour resin in a small jar with lid (I use a pint size mason jar) and run for about 20 minutes.I use for making pen blanks

You should use a thin CA for finishing. This would be more for gluing the tubes in or bonding two different woods for your blanks.

Not if it is in good condition and fully adhered. If it is loose, remove. Clean area first before applying new sealant.

I'd use a silicone caulk as I expect the gaps are too big for this product.

You should install the film on the inside. Make sure you use plenty of water when you install the film. If you don't, it will be difficult to get all the bubbles out.

Clear. Make sure you use plenty of water during installation. It makes it easier to squeegee the bubbles out.

If the surface is clean and smooth it should work fine, it does take forever to cure though, like at least a few days. A spray poly or spray sealer (mod podge has one) might work better for your project. This is also a huge can, I've used it on 3 side tables using 3 coats each and it's still full.

I used the spray be sure to cover in both directions for best coverage. I saw some with glue and could see ripples under veneer maybe to much moisture in glue I am pleased with spray

I used 3M 5200 sealant/adhesive. If you run drill bit backwards to drill holes... Gelcoat will not crack and splinter. Enjoy, C

I would say no because the threshold is driven over and as time goes on the threshold will sag into whatever gap is underneath. You need to somehow level the surface first. Plus I think the threshold would peel up prematurely without laying on a flat clean surface.

It's a great system, and the pumps make mixing a no-brainer...but Charles' comment about the bubbles is true. I used it to fill cracks in knot holes. I dripped it into the cracks and continued until it was about 1/16" above the surface of the wood. After letting it set for about 8 hours, I sanded flush, and in many cases, there were holes in the surface caused by bubbles. They weren't large - about 1/32" or so - but they were there. I'd love to find out how to avoid the bubbles...

I wouldn't do more than 1/4-1/2 inch at a time, as you need to get air bubbles out. Perhaps you could several layers to get to a desired thickness. I have not tried to do so.

That really depends on the size of the imperfections. It will help level small and shallow imperfections. Large and deep imperfections should be repaired before covering. I will say that I don't think you can do much better than this particular product. This is the same product (different color and brand name) that Home Depot carries as one of their high-end underlayments. If I remember correctly, buying this on Amazon in the 630 ft rolls saved me over half of what it costs at Home Depot.
