Comments about Jamestown Distributors Foam Roller Covers:
This is a Great roller cover. I use it for 2-part urethanes. With the paint properly thinned, you can apply a "Very Thin" final coat without "tipping-out" with a brush. The finish is like a fine "spray" with no stipple, no runs; mirror perfect(it takes a lot of practice). The paint must be applied extremely quickly and as "thin" a coating as possible. I wish that these great rollers were offered in a "higher density" foam or thinner nap. They would then be perfect! Recently painted a Porsche!

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Foam Roller Covers:
Great to apply thin coats of Urethane or alkyloid paint. Also for Epoxy Resin Gel Coating in multiple thin layers. Leaves no lint. Only Con is that the core is made of cardboard so these covers cannot be cleaned and reused as the cores fall apart.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Foam Roller Covers:
Use these rollers to apply Gelcoat , Epoxy Gelcoat, Urethane Or Alkyloid Paints .
1) Apply to just as much area as the roller will "cover" with just a little bit of pressure. 2) Immediately go back over the same area in a prepindicular pattern to the first direction.
3) Immediately "Tip" the rolled area with a wide foam tipping brush. Use a three step pattern with diagonal first, then horizontal , then vertical.
Use the tip of the foam brush and very little pressure with your strokes.
Brush towards the previously covered area to eliminate "Lap Marks".
As the tipping brush gets wet to where it drips when tipping, throw it aside and use a fresh one.
Work in the correct Temperature / Surface Temperature / Humidity and at least 6 degrees higher than the dew point, and work FAST, Methodical and Neat and you will get professional results,,, at least as professional as your surface preparation was accomplished.
