Epoxy on teak - How to apply?

wrote:

I am in the process of applying epoxy (105 + 207) to teak wood,
which I prepared with Teka Cleaner (A+B). I am brushing the epoxy on
with a nylon brush.

What can I do to minimize the legions of tiny bubbles in the surface? I
tried smoothing with the brush, which helps some, but not enough.

Also, the cured surface is a bit textured, not as smooth as I had
hoped. How can I make the resin 'flow' smoother?

Flow a rather heavy coat on to the surface, brushing in only one
direction.

When cured, sand lightly and apply another coat.

Takes 3-4 coats to get a smooth surface.

BTW, I use chip brushes and throw them away.

Costs more to clean them than they are worth which is less than $0.25.
