In Response To: Epoxy: Roll or Squeegee? (Malcolm Schweizer)

I find it easiest to roll the epoxy on, then squeegee off any excess epoxy. You waste epoxy this way but it works for me. When I wet out the deck I only use a squeegee to achieve a nice clear wet out finish. The roller holds epoxy that starts to set up, in between mixing batches, and leaves a slight milky or clouded wet out of epoxy in areas. For the fill coats I use a roller.
