Best roller material
« on: September 26, 2013, 10:35:50 PM »
I have a couple larger areas to cover with fiberglass and rather than using the brushes like I have been would like to use a paint roller style application.  I am using all epoxy resin.  What is the best roller material type to use.

Got to HD and get the 6 pack of the 3/8" mat green economy rollers.  You don't have to buy any expensive rollers.

They also have roller pan liner 10-paks for $5 - Grab some of those too and acetone or denatured alcohol for clean up.  Man I love spending other people's money  :mrgreen:

Used a long handle on the roller to do the deck, great to not be on your hands and knees

Yup, forgot the extension - good catch Matt. Buy 2 - one for the hard roller and one for the resin roller.
