How does positive air pressure remove bubbles from liquids?

232 viewsEngineeringOther

We’ve been watching a lot of wood turning videos, and very often the woodworkers use an epoxy resin to fill any gaps. After the epoxy is poured, it is set to cure in a positive pressure chamber to remove any bubbles. How does this work? Wouldn’t adding air increase the chances of getting bubbles?

Pressurizing epoxy pours makes the bubbles that do form *smaller* so they’re less visible.
Some people will use vacuum to try to eliminate bubbles, but it often ends in a mess.
