This Rodo Roller is designed for professionals working with GRP/fibreglass resins and matting in hand lay-up applications. Its lightweight PTFE material offers a significant advantage in ease of cleaning compared to metal rollers, as resin adheres less strongly. While it excels in reducing resin splash with its vertical fins and provides a comfortable grip, users should be aware that it is specifically intended for GRP/fibreglass resins and may not be suitable for all material types.

The roller is made from PTFE material, which has non-stick properties. GRP resin bonds less strongly to PTFE than to metal, making cleanup significantly easier and faster.
While primarily designed for GRP/fibreglass resins, it can often be used with epoxy resins. However, always check the specific resin manufacturer's recommendations for tool compatibility.
The vertical fins are designed to minimize and contain resin splashes and drips during the rolling process, leading to a cleaner working environment and less waste.
Yes, the handle is described as rugged and ergonomic, featuring a grip designed for added purchase and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue during extended use.
Immediately after use, wipe off excess resin. For a thorough clean, use a cloth dampened with acetone. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area when using acetone.
No, the PTFE material is resistant to acetone, making it a suitable cleaning agent for this roller. Ensure proper handling and ventilation as per acetone safety guidelines.
This roller is ideal for hand lay-up applications of GRP/fibreglass resins and matting, where manual application and control are required.
Ensure cleaning is done promptly after use. For stubborn residue, apply a small amount of acetone to a cloth and wipe the roller. Avoid letting resin cure completely on the surface.
Verify that the resin type is compatible with GRP/fibreglass applications. While PTFE is generally resistant, highly aggressive or unusual resin formulations might behave differently.
Check the connection between the handle and the roller head. If it is a separate component, ensure it is securely fastened according to any provided instructions (though this model is typically integrated).
Setup: This roller requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with GRP/fibreglass resins and matting. Ensure compatibility if considering use with other resin systems.
