: I agree.

: What you want is 1/8" thick rollers. Anything more than that - like the
: common 1/4" size - holds too much varnish and increases the
: likelihood of runs and sags. I'll have to check my local auto body
: supplier for thin rollers. Hopefully they'll be cheaper than West Systems
: epoxy rollers, which are what I've been using.

: I've also found that it's better to cut these in half and use a narrow roller
: frame, rather than the full 7" width. It fits the narrow facets and
: curves of the skin better, but still allows me to cover large areas
: quickly.

Yep, I was gonna say that and forgot

For kayaks specially I cut 7" rollers in half. You can easily buy a 3 1/2" roller frames and the cut down covers are cheaper than buying them pre-cut.
