I have used a heat lamp system on my last build. I eliminated the bubble issue by using a thermostatic switch and non contact thermometer. I run the lamps to heat the surface to 95 to 100 then dump and spread the epoxy. Then set the thermostat 10 degrees cooler for a hour then another 5 degrees cooler until ready for fill coat.
