The KoverTek Aluminium Paddle Roller (70mm x 40mm) is a precision tool designed for professional fiberglass and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) technicians, DIY roofing enthusiasts, and repair specialists who need to ensure structural integrity in composite laminations. Its primary benefit is the efficient consolidation of fiberglass matting, which minimizes air voids and excess resin for a durable, smooth surface. However, users should note that the aluminium fins require thorough cleaning with acetone immediately after use to prevent resin from curing permanently on the roller surface.

Yes, it is compatible with epoxy, though you must clean it thoroughly with the appropriate solvent before the epoxy cures.
While it works on large areas, the 70mm width is specifically optimized for precision work and medium repairs. For very large flat roofs, you may want to pair it with a wider roller.
Store it in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely free of cured resin so it is ready for the next use.
Aluminium does not rust like steel, but it can corrode if left in contact with certain harsh chemicals for too long. Always clean and dry after use.
The KoverTek roller is designed as a complete unit. Proper maintenance of the existing head is the best way to ensure longevity.
Check for dried resin or loose fiberglass strands stuck in the spindle ends; clean with acetone and clear debris.
You are applying too much pressure or the resin has not sufficiently saturated the mat. Ensure the mat is fully wetted before rolling.
Soak the head in acetone for several hours, then use a stiff plastic scraper or nylon brush to remove the residue.
Setup: No assembly is required. The tool is ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. Before first use, ensure the roller turns freely on its spindle.
Compatibility: This roller is compatible with standard fiberglass, chopped strand mat (CSM), and woven rovings. It is compatible with all common polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins used in GRP applications.
