It was one of those furry rollers. It was the 3rd coat. I did the first 2 with a squeegee and brush (I used a foam brush and had it self-destruct). With a brush the results are much smoother (no bubbles), but I can never get an even coat and often get runs. Do the foam rollers make fewer bubbles? I have seen two kinds of foam rollers, one has denser foam with smaller pores (white) and the other looks kind of cheap (pink?). Which is better?
