TIP: You have to be a bit careful with rollers though. If you roll too vigorously you can work air bubbles into the epoxy that may not come out. The epoxy starts to turn milky-white. I find this is worse with foam covers.

This is the problem I have had with foam rollers - the WEST ($$ in Canada) rollers seem a bit better than the others I tried. I hate 'wasting' a lot of epoxy filling up a roller.

There are some good ideas on this page:

I've used the 'roller section on a stick' method and it works well.
