TAP Aluminum Quick Release Fiberglass Mat Rollers – Professional-Grade Laminate Tools
Achieve smooth, high-quality fiberglass layups with TAP Plastics' Aluminum Quick Release Mat Rollers—engineered for professionals and DIYers alike working with fiberglass mat. These durable rollers are essential for removing trapped air and evenly distributing resin during lamination. Whether you're repairing a boat hull, building up automotive body panels, or creating custom fiberglass parts, our rollers ensure a flawless bond.
Unlike brushes or squeegees—which struggle with the short-strand structure of fiberglass mat—our rollers feature specially machined fins and grooves that push resin through the mat without damaging the delicate glass fibers. The result is thorough saturation and a strong, void-free laminate layer.
Why Choose TAP’s Aluminum Mat Rollers?
-
Industry-Standard Construction: Built from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum for professional durability.
-
Quick-Release, Easy-to-Clean Design: Plugged ends prevent resin and glass infiltration, while reduced bearing surfaces extend roll-out time between cleanings.
-
Solvent-Resistant Handle: Ergonomic plastic handle stands up to acetone and other common solvents.
-
Optimized for Performance: Choose from multiple roller diameters and lengths to suit various laminate thicknesses and project types.
Choosing the Right Roller Size:
-
Larger diameter rollers (1" or 2") are ideal for thick laminates and easier to clean thanks to their elevated shaft clearance.
-
Smaller diameter rollers (.75") excel at releasing small bubbles in thin laminates and offer greater control over detail areas.
-
Longer lengths (6", 9") cover more surface area, making them ideal for flat panels or larger composite parts.
-
Shorter lengths (3") are perfect for tight areas, corners, and complex shapes.
