This is what we use to raise bubbles to the top of counter tops. you must take a peice of wood and drill a large enough hole to craddle the bulb, then press the drill with the carrage bolt to the wood and vibrate away the bubbles.

For a totally smooth surface, I've found that using hardwall plaster works a treat. If you make the driest mix possible (still allowing you to pour it) it dries in about an hour. For a bit of fun I've also added oxide coloring to the mix...the electric blue bulbs look very cool. I’ve made a few of these and it’s hard to avoid the bubbles when using concrete.

And Cornice Cement is pretty cool, too. I'll take a photo one day, and post it onto my blog.

Also if you can make some sort of vibrator you could get rid of the bubbles. This might make a spiffer looking bulb. They make white portland cement, and additives to make the mix flow better.
