I just finished 'glassing a 15' Bob's Special, using squeegees for wet out and the Newfound mohair roller covers for all four fill coats, inside and out. MAS epoxy, of course. What little foaming I got was easily dissipated by tipping off with a dry brush. All coats set up nicely, with no drool (MAS's new formulation). I found the same rollers in Home Depot. The wrapper says for epoxy, among other things. Works for me.... - John
