Paddle Paint Roller - 100mm X 15mm

Its primary purpose is to consolidate fiberglass matting and resins in composite applications, ensuring thorough wet out and efficient air removal for stronger laminates.

No, this roller is specifically designed for composite applications and its fin structure is not suitable for applying smooth paint finishes.

The roller is easily cleaned with acetone after use. It is recommended to clean it immediately after application while the resin is still uncured.

The horizontal fins help to move resin around the fiberglass matting and are very effective at expelling trapped air bubbles, leading to a stronger, void-free final product.

The roller is constructed from lightweight aluminum, designed to reduce user fatigue during prolonged use.

It is suitable for use with most common polyester and epoxy resins used in GRP/fibreglass hand lay-up processes.

Yes, it features a rugged handle with an ergonomic grip designed for added purchase and control.

Ensure you are cleaning the roller immediately after use while the resin is still uncured. If resin has hardened, a stronger solvent or more thorough scrubbing may be required, but exercise caution to avoid damaging the roller.

While designed for reduced fatigue, prolonged use can still be tiring. Take regular breaks and ensure your grip is relaxed but secure. Check that there are no obstructions or damage to the roller head.

Ensure you are applying consistent pressure and using a proper rolling technique. The fins should move the resin and air forward. If persistent bubbles occur, the resin viscosity or application method might need adjustment.
