Thank you for your input. I will have to return those rollers today. I will need to call around to see if I can find the 1/8" kind. I went to West System's web site but couldn't find a link to order their rollers.

: Thin 1/8" thick foam roller covers generate the least amount of FOAM
: or air bubbles. West System makes the best ones I know of and I only use
: their roller covers.

: I've tried the short bristle roller covers and have been disappointed because
: I think they generate more foam than the West covers.

: You need to be aware that "over rolling" will generate foam and
: very fine
: foam that will make your resin look cloudy.

: Foam is not a problem (with the right roller cover) during precoat of the
: bare
: wood and wet-out of the glass as long as you roll sparingly. The resin is
: thick so
: it will not immediately wet-out wood or glass. Go over the surface once and
: move
: on and you will fine the resin has absorbed into a greater area. Do not work
: the
: resin into the cloth by rolling back and forth in one spot until it's totally
: saturated
: because you will be making foam that may not disappear.

: During the bare wood precoat and glass wet-out the material will absorb the
: resin
: breaking any bubbles. The Squeegeeing off of excess resin once the glass is
: wet-out
: will also eliminate any air bubbles or foam.

: On fill coats the roller will leave a lot of foam that is very easily removed
: by "tipping-off",
: that is dragging the tip of a dry foam brush over the surface. This
: tipping-off will also
: allow you to smooth any drips or runs you may have missed.

: As long as you don't over work the surface with the roller you should be
: okay.

: All the best,
