Thanks for the input guys. I don't think the issue was with the resin/hardner ratio since the stuff cured rock hard and some plugs came out with only one or two bubbles while a few of the others were worse. I will try a round stick to mix with the next time and go slowly to avoid introducing bubbles into the mix in the first place.

I e-mailed tech. support for system three and got the following response.

"First, apply a thin coat to seal the wood if the lures are made from wood. Brush off any air bubbles as the material is curing. This changes the surface from porous to non-porous. After this has cured apply a second "heavy" coat. After about a half-hour all the air will have risen to the surface. Use a propane torch held about eight inches away and fanned quickly on the surface. This will pop any air bubbles. Obviously, if the surface is already non-porous then the first step can be omitted."

I do one or two more batches to see if I can work out the kinks.
