A roller cover that survives resin. The phenolic core is the part that matters: a cardboard core turns to mush the moment styrene or epoxy soaks into it, and then the cover slides on the frame and comes apart in the middle of a coat. This one holds together through bottom paint, epoxy and polyester.

  • Solvent-resistant phenolic core
  • For smooth and semi-smooth surfaces
  • Used with bottom paints, epoxies and fiberglass resins
  • Available in 7 in and 9 in

Roll resin in one direction and lay it off in light passes. Working a resin coat back and forth whips air into it and you end up chasing pinholes after it cures. Pre-roll a new cover on masking tape before it touches the boat. Loose fibers shed on the first pass and every one of them ends up cured into the coat.

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.
