The KoverTek Paddle Roller is an essential tool for professional fiberglass and GRP laminators who demand precision and durability in their composite projects. Its high-quality aluminum construction excels at consolidating material and removing trapped air bubbles to ensure a void-free, structural finish. While it is perfect for large surface areas due to its 225mm width, users should be aware that the rigid aluminum fins require thorough cleaning immediately after use to prevent resin hardening.

Yes, the KoverTek aluminum paddle roller is compatible with both polyester and epoxy resin systems.
Use an acetone-based solvent to thoroughly wash the roller immediately after use while the resin is still uncured.
This 225mm roller is best suited for broad, flat surfaces; for tight corners, a smaller diameter or corner-specific roller is recommended.
Aluminum does not rust, but it can oxidize over time if not cleaned properly after exposure to reactive chemicals.
Yes, provided your handle frame is compatible with the standard pin dimensions of this roller.
Metal rollers are generally more durable, solvent-resistant, and provide better pressure for consolidating heavy fiberglass matting.
Soak the assembly in acetone to dissolve hardened resin trapped in the axle mechanism.
Apply more consistent pressure and ensure the fiberglass matting is fully wetted out with resin before rolling.
Ensure you are using even strokes and not over-working the resin, which can cause excessive agitation.
Setup: Before first use, ensure the roller pins are spinning freely. No specialized assembly is required; simply attach the roller to a standard handle frame if necessary.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with all standard polyester and epoxy laminating resins. It is specifically designed for use on flat-to-slightly-curved surfaces where the wide head can maintain constant contact with the material.
Care: Proper care is non-negotiable for aluminum rollers. Immediately after completing your work, soak or scrub the roller in an appropriate solvent (such as acetone) to dissolve uncured resin. Never allow resin to cure on the fins, as mechanical removal can damage the aluminum finish. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent oxidation.
