In Response To: Smoking rollers?? (Robert N Pruden)

: How does that happen? I've never had a roller smoke while using one.

: Robert N Pruden
Nor me until just then! I think that the roller soaked up enough epoxy resin, and then an exothermic reaction got out of hand within the structure of the roller. I had put asside the roller for a few minuits and did not notice the smell as I like to work with plenty of ventilation. The work surface that I use was behind me and when I turned to put something down, I noticed that bad things were about to take place involving the roller, the kayaks unfinished, finished and rest of workshop. The roller got the big exit out the door damn quick.
