I have used heat but extreme caution is recommended as to much will boil the coating and cause more problems.I prefer to apply first coat as a thin coating to seal everything up. I usually heat resin part in micowave for 10 sec. Measure and mix with catalyst and pour onto tinfoil. apply light coat and push it up under feet of guide.If you see bubbles you can usually get them to pop by blowing directly on them with coffee stir sticks or a small straw.Just watch for moisture coming from stirer or straw.pouring the mix onto tinfoil usually gets rid of a lot of the bubbles from mixing and slows down the chemical reaction so you have more time to work.second coat usually gets less as you dont have to worry about air trying to escape from under feet.Haave also heard that new coating from aftco gets a lot less of these bubbles and have bought some to try but havent as of yet.
