Air bubbles in layering colors

[Kelly54487 2]

I don't do much layering however when I try to do 2 color layers, I always seem to get air bubbles. Is there a trick to this I know I can pick them with a needle/pin but is there something I'm doing wrong?

What I have been doing is using masking tape on the back of my first color in each corner and putting it up against my patio window and then applying the second color using clear transfer tape to it. Would it be best to invest in one of those self adheasive matts so I don't get the air bubbles. Any help on this issue I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Kelly

Kelly it's just practice, there's no tricks too it.  Here's a little Video that may be of some help to you.
