That's probably air coming out. A friend who uses epoxy to impregnate
wood, puts the pot of mixed epoxy in a vacuum chamber for a while and
it foams up as the air bubbles, that were emplaced during mixing, are
forced out.


as pressure decreases boiling point goes lower so if it is volatile at
room temp it is more so as pressure decreases

but some could be air from mixing



looking for some cross sections of stabilized pieces to see how far
resin penetrates
