This sounds great. I will try this tomorrow when I glass the hull of my Arctic Tern. One problem I have with the plastic squeegee is snagging the glass. This sounds like it may solve that problem.
How do you discard the excess resin when your roller squeegee is full and driping on the floor? Ted Moores uses the cut in the grunge can method to wipe the edges of his squeegee clean. Do you have a method to clean the roller off?
