What's the best roller for 2 pack polyurethane varnish?

[Ian_Edwards]

Hi,
Having just company applying 2 coats of Micron 350 to my Southerly 46RS.
The next task is some serious varnishing.
I intend to use Epifanes 2 pack polyurethane, I'd prefer to use International Perfection Plus, but that seems to have been retired from the retail market.
I want to avoid the disaster of using medium pile rollers from Screwfix, which shed their pile, all over the place. Not too important on antifouling paint, but it would be a disaster on high gloss varnish.
I plan to roll the varnish on and tip off with a good quality paint brush.
So what type of rollers do I buy and which company is the most reliable supplier?

Ian,
We will be varnishing the hull of the varnished boat soon. Will be using Epifanes but not 2 pack. We roll with something like these short pile rollers from the dreaded Screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/p/fortress-trade-short-pile-roller-sleeves-gloss-4-x-22mm-5-pack/791fm. I thing these have been fine for us but 2 pack may be a different story. We tip off with a brush afterwards.

When I used SML two pack paint I used their recommended foam rollers and they were fine.

They are Rota Premier Concave and I also got some from Toolstation but they don't seem to stock them anymore.
Also available here and recommended by Epifanes.

Andsarkit it spot on so there you have the keyword.

Along with most paints being water based nowadays, brushes and rollers are good not much more than lemonade.

Get rollers that specifically tolerates your product (varnish + the solvent and ingredients).
