The B&Q Bubble Buster Roller (140mm X 40mm V Notch) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with GRP/fibreglass resins and matting. Its key benefit is the effective and efficient application of resin while minimizing air bubbles and splashing, leading to stronger, smoother finishes. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which might be overkill for very small, simple projects. This roller combines features of finned and paddle rollers, offering excellent air relief and glass fibre impregnation.

The V-notch design helps to reduce splashing of the resin during application, leading to a cleaner working process and less waste.
The horizontal fins are designed to effectively move and distribute the resin around the fibreglass matting, ensuring thorough saturation.
While primarily designed for GRP/fibreglass resins, it is generally suitable for most polyester and vinyl ester resins. Compatibility with specific epoxy systems should be verified with the resin manufacturer.
The roller should be cleaned immediately after use with acetone. Ensure adequate ventilation and wear protective gear during cleaning.
The roller is robust and effective for all users. Beginners may find its specialized design very helpful in achieving professional results by minimizing common application errors like air bubbles.
The roller head dimensions are 140mm in width and 40mm in depth.
This roller is optimized for resin and matting impregnation. For gelcoat, a dedicated gelcoat roller or brush is typically recommended.
Ensure the roller is being used with consistent pressure and is making full contact with the matting. Try a slower, more deliberate rolling motion.
Check for blockages in the fins or notches. Ensure the resin viscosity is appropriate for the application. The roller might not be saturated enough with resin.
While the V-notch design minimizes splashing, ensure you are not applying excessive downward pressure or rolling too aggressively. Adjust your technique for a smoother, controlled application.
Clean the roller immediately after use before the resin cures. Use sufficient acetone and a brush if necessary to remove all residue.
Setup: The Bubble Buster Roller is ready to use straight from packaging. Ensure the handle is securely attached to the roller head.
Compatibility: This roller is designed for use with GRP/fibreglass resins and matting in hand lay-up processes.
Care: After each use, the roller should be thoroughly cleaned to maintain its effectiveness and longevity.
