This depends on the composition/viscosity/surface tension of your slurry, so no one answer will match every case. The reason for the bubbles might be from excessive mixing energy, in which case the easiest solution would be to adjust your mixing protocol. In a low-viscosity slurry, the solution could be as simple as resting the slurry, or even using vibration mat to shake the bubbles out before spreading. With a high-viscosity slurry, buying dedicated equipment to stir under vacuum might help, but not necessarily. Rather than try quick fixes, I would suggest figuring out the cause of the bubbles first; then the solution may be to simplify your protocol rather than add more complexity to it.
