A flat roller cannot consolidate a corner. It rides the two faces and leaves the cloth tented across the radius with air underneath, which is exactly where a laminate fails first. A radius roller has an angled or profiled head that pushes the fabric down into the cove and squeezes the resin through it.

Aluminum head, cleans up in acetone
Angled and profiled heads for inside corners, coves and fillets
Several diameter and angle combinations so you can match the radius
For tabbing joints, stringer-to-hull corners and any curved section of laminate

Work the corner first with the radius roller, then come back across the flats with a standard laminating roller. Doing it the other way around just chases air back into the corner.

What rollers do I use to roll out fiberglass?

Use a metal or paddle laminating roller to compact the laminate and drive out trapped air after you wet out the glass, which prevents weak, bubble-filled spots. Reach for a corner roller on inside corners, a radius roller on curves, and a detail roller in tight areas. Wet out first with a chip brush or squeegee, then roll until no more air bubbles rise.
