Description
Overview
The Red Tree aluminium resin roller 3 inch Malta is built for fibreglass and epoxy laminating work. Its metal cage does not absorb resin the way a fabric cover would.
Why it works
So more of what you load onto it ends up on the laminate. As a result, you get a more even wet-out across the glass cloth.
Suited to
In particular, this is what it performs best at:
- Polyester and epoxy laminating resin
- Fibreglass cloth and mat wet-out
- Repair and reinforcement work on hulls and decks
In practice
That matters because resin has limited working time once catalysed. A roller that hoards resin forces more reloading while the clock runs.
Sizes and options
This roller comes in two sizes, 3 inch and 5 inch. For a different feel, it also pairs with Red Tree’s fibreglass resin roller.
Why DockShop stocks it
Redtree Industries builds its applicator range for demanding coating work, so the quality holds up under regular use. Because DockShop imports the line directly, the exact size or pack a job calls for is normally in stock, not a special order. That matters most on a job with a tight schedule, when a supply delay is not an option.
Care and storage
However you use it, rinse or clean the brush or roller promptly afterwards, based on the coating type. A little care after each job keeps it performing well for longer, so it is ready for the next coat without a trip back to the shelf.
