Three rollers, because one is never enough on a real layup. A roller that sits for ten minutes in kicking resin is done, and stopping mid-wetout to soak it in acetone is how a laminate gets a dry spot. Buy them as a three pack and rotate as they load up.

  • Three laminating rollers per pack
  • Aluminum core, stands up to repeated use and solvent cleaning
  • For consolidating cloth, mat and biaxial in epoxy or polyester
  • Cheap enough to rotate through a big layup without babying them

Drop a used roller straight into a jar of acetone rather than letting it sit. Cured resin in the grooves is what turns a roller into a tool that smears instead of consolidates.

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.
