Customers say
Customers find the foam roller works well for various applications, including painting over routered projects and applying Awlgrip paint, with one customer noting it’s perfect for both epoxy resin and varnish. They appreciate its smooth finish and even coverage, with one mentioning it’s easy to sand smooth. The thickness receives mixed feedback, with several customers noting it’s very thin, and opinions on value are divided between those who find it reasonably priced and those who consider it not worth the use.

Gelcoat application
used several packs of these to roll 25 square feet of gelcoat (gel coat) onto a boat floor. it’s a thin nap, so it requires several coats: maybe at least five; definitely more if you’re sanding it; though being a little more liberal with the material may help. however, this thin nap reduces waste left in the roller and the end result is what i would call a rougher-looking eggshell texture – much smoother than you’d probably expect and surprisingly easy to sand smooth if you don’t try to lay down too much material with each coat. these are not exactly solvent-proof (gelcoat uses MEKP), so the foam would start to separate from the cardboard tube just a little during a few of the applications. but a fresh roller for each coat makes that a very minor issue. though it doesn’t put down as much material as alternate methods, it’s much simpler than spraying (easy clean up) and smoother than brushing. i will be using these rollers to apply gel whenever i can.i’m a perfectionist when it comes to this sort of project and i could not be happier with the result. if anyone says rolling gelcoat looks like garbage, they probably did a garbage job.

Low price, great quality, and a bonus tip… nuf said
And here’s a tip…when you’re done with the roller instead of trying to get the cover off with your hands have a screwdriver nearby. Put the roller so it’s touching the ground and won’t roll, poke the screwdriver through the cardboard, and push it off as far as you can. Take the screwdriver out and push it off the roller by putting the screwdrive between the roller bars. A LOT less mess and hassleI have a 41′ sailboat and had to put a new barrier coat (West System Epoxy + 422) and coppercoat. I tried some cheaper ones from the box store and they did horribly. Saw that someone else had success using these with Epoxy.These worked flawlessly. Way cheaper than West Marine and haven’t had a single one delaminate even when the Epoxy kicked off a bit before I wanted.

1/8″ Nap Foam Roller Cover
I couldn’t find any foam rollers with 1/8″ nap locally, so I ordered these through Amazon. I use them with either a 7′ roller frame or, by cutting them in half, with a 3″ roller frame. I needed the thin nap to apply epoxy during the process of building a wood and fiberglass kayak. They spread the epoxy in a fairly uniform layer and don’t leave any lint. I still go over the epoxy I rolled with a small foam chip brush to get out any bubbles.

Great for alkyd paints (oil-based)
I used this to roller paint a few doors from the 90’s, and I like the results. A brush is still needed for hard-to-reach areas, but the roller works great for the flat surfaces. It’s very good at leaving the right amount of paint, with even coverage.On the downside, the core is made out of cardboard, and crushes easily. Once the core is deformed, it no longer leaves an even layer.

As described
Just not what I needed. I’m sure they work good

the Gold Standard
The Tiz foam roller is the gold standard for people who want a smooth finish. I have used this product for somewhere close to 30 years – as a sign painter – and the only finish that competes is a spray finish. It is made for oil paints, but I’ve found that if you thin acrylics very slightly you can achieve the same smooth finish with water based paints. If you’re painting a house, buy rollers with a heavier (thicker) nap.

Did not work with fast drying paint.
This roller leaves a bunch of little bubbles because it is not a smooth foam.

not good
It’s a one time product and no high quality paint result.

My mistake, I didn’t see the applications completely, and the roller dissolved into the paint I was using.
