fuzzy rollers for resin?????

[osborn159]

in the "is acetone necessary" thread ondarvr recommends fuzzy rollers to distribute the resin over csm or cloth, what is he refering to? latex paint roller covers or are there special rollers for resins? i think since they would be a
b!@#h to clean id rather use the el cheapo latex roler cover and can them once done, or can they still be used once the resin has cured, i guess at that point the roller handle and cover would be canned.
any insight would be appreciated.

There are special rollers for resin, but depending on you application you probably don't need one. Other people probably have different opinions/preferences. I know that Liebco makes a couple different kinds. The one kind of roller that you might want is a fiberglass roller like one of these for working out bubbles:

I don't know if thats what Ondarvr was talking about though... he was probably talking about fuzzy as opposed to foam?

I always recommend the cheapo fuzzy latex rollers you can get at the home center. Forget cleaning them after use. Throw them away and clean the roller frame.

What they said....buy the cheapest 6 or 8 pack of fuzzy paint rollers you can find at the big hardware store and just chuck em when your done. Buy the cheaper roller handles too, the heavier duty thicker wire ones don't hold up as well.
