: Need to put barely no varnish on the roller and spread it as far as
: you can before you start tipping it off. How thick is the foam
: on the roller? Should be 1/4" max, preferably less. West
: epoxy's roller covers are the ideal, about 1/8" thick. Need
: to use a dry foam brush and only use the tip of it when tipping
: it.

: Very easy to apply too much varnish with a roller.
