Plastic Finned Roller - Rodo - FGCR305

The roller is designed for hand lay-up of GRP/fibreglass resins, including polyester and vinyl ester resins.

The roller is made of lightweight PTFE material, to which GRP resin bonds less strongly, making it easier to clean off compared to metal rollers where resin can adhere more stubbornly.

While primarily designed for GRP/fibreglass resins, it can often be used with epoxy resins. However, always test on a small area first, as epoxy resin behaviors can vary. Cleaning with acetone is generally effective for most common resins.

The vertical fins are designed to minimize resin splashes during the application process, helping to keep your workspace cleaner and reduce material waste.

Yes, the handle is rugged with an ergonomic grip designed for added comfort and purchase, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Clean the roller thoroughly with acetone after each use. Store it in a dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials that could scratch the PTFE surface.

This roller is best suited for working with resins and matting. For gelcoat application, specialized rollers or brushes might offer better results, depending on the viscosity and application method.

Ensure you are cleaning the roller immediately after use before the resin fully cures. If some residue remains, use a fresh cloth with acetone.

Inspect the connection between the handle and the roller head. While designed for durability, if a connection appears loose, do not force the roller. Contact Rodo customer support.

While the fins minimize splashing, excessive force or very thin resin can still lead to some spread. Adjust your application technique for smoother, more controlled movements.
