Default roll on primer instead of spray?

I have my usual dilemma in the middle of a Michigan winter.... I'm ready for primer on my latest fiberglassed project, but don't have a heated spraybooth handy. Has anyone rolled on the primer instead of spraying it? I'm using a 2-part primer (PPG shopline primer/surfacer). I could roll the primer on in my basement workshop, but I am curious about 1) it's behavior of the primer when rolled, and 2) if the cat & I will end up dead as a result of the fumes. I know this stuff is really nasty on the 'ol respiratory system, but I'm not sure if it's the fumes of the paint itself or the vapor/mist created when spraying. Any thoughts?
