How to Use the 18" Epoxy Roller
Achieving a smooth, streak-free epoxy floor requires the right technique. Here’s how to use your 18" roller effectively:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris.
- Load the Roller: Pour your epoxy or sealer in an even strip across the entire floor, and roll it out evenly using the 18" roller.
- Back-Roll: Roll the epoxy or sealer in a north–south direction, then again east–west. This technique, known as back-rolling, helps ensure even coverage and prevents pooling or missed areas. Use light, even strokes — do not apply pressure to the roller.
For proper application, the roller requires an 18” roller frame. Check out our adjustable roller frame which can support rollers from 12-18" in length!
