Applying epoxy with rollers

I used a roller for the first time to put a coat of epoxy on my hull last night and I couldn't help getting a lot of bubbles. I thought I brushed them out afterward, but looking at it this morning there are a lot of fine bubbles or bumps so that the surface looks textured, not shiny like I am used to. Is this normal? Do I have to sand out those tiny bubbles/bumps? The roller I used wasn't foam as recommended by several people, but the guy at the fiberglass store said it would work fine for epoxy. Would a foam roller work better or should I do the final coats with a brush?
