Brush or roller or whatever

What's the best way to apply a two part epoxy paint such as Internatioal if you don't have or want to spray. Used a brush last time and cocked it up as it dried too quickly

Foam roller is the way to go. Tip off with a foam brush for even better result.

Re drying time. International do a 'slow' thinner for Perfection I don't remember the number offhand but it might be 10 or 11. You need this.

Set up a sheet of glass near vertical. add some thinner. Do a test roll [ and tip]. If it does not self level, add more thinner. If it sags, add more paint. Wipe glass and try again.

Perfection is a polyurethane. It might be a mistake to use this thinner for an epoxy

Thinner for Perfection is No 9, for epoxy types, it is No 7.
