    Have been less than impressed with rollers as being anything other than a

    Besides which, on my kayaks, there isn't enough area to make the extra fiddling
    with a roller worth-while.

    Today I changed my mind. On all fronts.

    By my calculations, the 3" roller has saved me 2 hrs painting, 6 hrs sanding
    irregularities in film thickness, and made my pox go 2.5 times the distance.
    With a corresponding weight saving in the boat.

    Thanks blokes !!
    Exactly. The roller saves a lot of epoxy if used properly.

    Not to mention the time!
