I'm a bit out of the context of your question at the moment, but I would have to go with: squeegee.. because that will spread the epoxy quickly and evenly w/o either disintegrating into bits of foam as a foam brush would (the cheap ones) or introducing air bubbles like a roller could. That said, a very short nap roller could probably work. I've never actually built this method, so I am not sure. I think first there is a layer of dacron that gets wet out, the challenge there would be to not force so much epoxy through it that is just comes out the other side and drips. Perhaps Bill or Dan will be along to set it straight.
