I did get most of the bubbles skimmed off and with heaps of pressing 90% of the bubbles are gone.
I shall do what Roger mentions and use shellac next time for the tool.

David, I used my 80w soldering iron to make the grooves initially with a piece of thin brass attached to to the soldering tip shaped in a u shape.
Its slow work and took a hour to do but you get nice grooves and no breakage..After that I have been trimming with a sharp craft knife with a plastic ruler as a guide...If you hold the ruler against the resin square nice and firm and score a few times it breaks very cleanly!
cheers Gary
