Epoxy: air bubbles

I was looking at some post the other day and found an interesting way of reducing air bubbles in the finish coat of epoxy. They suggested missting the surface with alchohol which thins the resin and breaks the surface tension. Just checking if anyone has tried this. I know the typical way is with a torch which scares me a bit. Joe
