Not to sure on roller but thin it out a little bit so it doesn't get rough also I might be mistaken but it might help to tip it with a brush will help with finish product

Short nap rollers. Some 3/16 or 1/4" nap. Try some foam ones but make sure they don't dissolve first. And don't roll too much. It needs time to self flatten before it kicks. Ask me how I know.

That is perhaps the best advice. Although at least transoms are easy to sand because they are flat -if you want a cosmetic finish.

Spray with 25% patch booster and a 3.0 tip.

Pelican,

Given choice when replacing a non skid deck would you roll gel coat or paint?
