Rollers and epoxy

Hey Rob,

I've read your roller method a few times now, and I always come away a little confused.

I imagine the roller soaks up epoxy, and as it does the application rate changes. It also starts to set on the roller itself, if you use it long enough. How often are you swapping out rollers, and how do you manage the variation in the amount of epoxy that is soaking into the roller over the course of a wet-out?

: Read this page: http://www.laughingloon.com/epoxy.html

: And you won't mess it up.

: Good luck,

: I hear it, I forget, I see it, I remember, I do it, I understand.
