Product Summary
All of our epoxy application tools and supplies are carefully selected for excellent compatibility with WEST SYSTEM® Epoxy products, durability, and safety. Many of our application tools, such as mixing pots, mixing sticks, roller pans and plastic spreaders feature a smooth, glossy finish that allows cured epoxy to pop right off and the items to be reused. Thick films of cured epoxy will pop off more easily than epoxy in a thin film. Note that as tools get scuffed and scratched from use, it can get more difficult to pop cured epoxy off of them. Our disposable foam rollers are the only rollers we recommend for use with epoxy: their low nap prevents excess air bubbles from being introduced into the epoxy in coating operations.
