After much searching I have found an alternative source to the foam rollers sold by West Systems.

The rollers are quite serviceable and inexpensive at under 3 dollars CNDN a pair at ByTown Lumber. The rollers actually measured 9 3/8" long so they fit a small roller frame nicely when cut into three.

Anyway, the details from the package:

SIMMS econo grade foam rollers, 9", R-200, 1/8" pile for smooth surfaces, ideal for melamine, urethane and latex/oil paints, do not use in lacquer or shellac. Made in Canada.

T. S. SIMMS & CO. LTD., Saint John, N.B., Canada. E2l-4C5

Hope this is of use.
