I know that we all wish to avoid bubbles. Glass alyups are nasty in that
regard. I found that paint store acid brushes (stiff nylon fibers) are the
best for stippling out the bubbles, and can be rejuvenated multiple times
simply by dropping them into a jar of acetone. Also, use a strong light at
an angle to see the bubbles.

All that said, another answer is worth considering. In layups with carbon
fiber, I have never had a problem with bubbles. It lays down very well,
stays put, and needs (almost) no stippling (I'm serious). Certainly it's
more expensive, but I find myself using it to save time when the choice
presents itself. Given that time is money, and CF is stronger than glass,
it's not a bad choice.
