Susan,
The roller that Bryan mentioned is a foam roller. For measuring epoxy I use the calibrated pumps from RAKA and mix in recycled 6 oz. yogurt cups. Beware of thinking it will go faster if you mix a larger batch. Too large of a batch will kick in the cup, before you can get it on the boat.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. And of course we will want to see pictures.
