Hi John,
Gloves and long sleeves. Even in hot weather I wear long sleeves and gloves, non-latex, if I'm handling glass and resin, epoxy or polyester.
Better to avoid having to clean resin from your skin. The long sleeves minimise glass splinter irritation.

Tools can be cleaned. The squeegee/cards I use are flexible so when any resin is nearly set, I just twist the card and the resin flakes off. Any brushes I use are one-shot, not cheap ones, just inexpensive ones.
I haven't used rollers but I'd probably do the same rather than try to clean them. I prefer to keep any potential contamination to a minimum.

Hope this helps,
