: After a lot of different roller covers, including the fiber ones (which

: buying some at anyone who carries West epoxy.

I agree with Rob, I have tried several foam roller covers and found the West System covers to be the best. Most people that don't like using roller covers, have not tried West's covers. They are expensive though.

Hey Rob~~ Have you tried the "applicator" roller covers that Newfound's sell? They look like a mohair paint cover but are for epoxy. I like the way they work too but with everything I like---there must be some problem.
