In Response To: Epoxy: Epoxy rollers *PIC* (Palle Dam)

I personally don't like foam roller covers. I prefer 3/16" Mohair with a phenolic core. They hold more epoxy, leave a smoother finish and are available just about anywhere they sell paint. I buy the regular 9" width and chop them to whatever size I need (usually 3").

You CAN reuse roller covers by putting them in a ziploc bag and storing them in the freezer. During the winter months, put the baggy in a snowbank just outside your shop door. The low temperature doesn't stop the reaction, it only slows it down. Great up to about a week. Works with brushes as well.
