Default Easy way to fiberglass

I had some probles with laying down fiberglass cloth. Some some of you guys gave me a clue on laying cloth with no rinkles. Home depot sell cheap trin rollers for abut $2.99 they come wi9th two sleaves and the rooller. The package serves as the pan. Place the cloth on the wing for example . Dip the roller in to the resin and start in the middle and work towards the edges. Because it "rolls" there is no drag which pulls the way a brush does. after the cloth is down you can roll in any direction and really work the resin in. There is no need to use a squgee. Ther is no need the roller leaves a very tyhin layer. When doing a large area like a wing , have the flaps handy and leftove resin can be used on them.What is also great the resin will not stick to the plastic roller. I also use it as application method for the second coat. If any of you guys use this let me know how it works for you. And many thanks to the fellas that told me. Hope this serves you well
