I had excellent results last August applying the fill coats to my Cheasapeake 17LT using the thin foam West System rollers (cut in half to make 2 short rollers from one longer one). This let me apply very thin coats of my MAS epoxy. I did not have any drips or sags at all. Of course it took maybe 4 or 5 coats to fill the weave. At any rate, I can recommend rolling...
