Why is it important to dislodge any adhering bubbles in the density test?

Bubbles in a substance being evaluated for density will make that material appear less dense. The bubbles are less dense than the substance being evaluated, and they take up volume and add almost no mass. That results in an overall reduction in the mass-per-unit-volume (desity) measurement.
