2- The second option is to discard the roller, sit back in your chair and admire your work with a cool beverage of choice and think of all the paint thinner you are saving.
For i part paints I have used this stuff and it was good for a couple days. I think it seals tighter than the zip bags.
The fiberglass/ paint guy told me to use a dense foam roller and the guy at the marine store talked me into a short nap roller. For my next coat, I think I will be going to the foam. Good thing I bought a good brush and learned to tip.
