The thicker the resin, the harder it is to get rid of bubbles without vacuum equipment. With regards to the tape, it looks a little messy, you have to make sure that there are no folds and that wherever the tape is in contact with the wood it has been well burnished.
Is this a wood turning project? Most guys I know who do that kind of thing flood the shakes / cracks on the blank with epoxy before turning as it actually turns pretty well. You may be better off taping the outside then laying your bowl flat and filling one crack at a time then bringing the epoxy back to surface level with sandpaper or a gouge.
