I had the Protecta-Kote kit from PureFreedom - if that's what you are getting, there is already a roller with it.  It worked fine.

use this will be fine, get some gloves also as this stuff will stick to your hands, not only will you look like a smurf scrubing it off with how water fed to hurt a little  ;)

dip said roller into tin (5l) and roll no need for a paint tray do not leave this stuff for an hour uncovered it sets hard on brushes etc quite fast. if your going to leave it, get a plastic bag and wrap it up with it try to get out as much air as possible.

this stuff gets you high, so well vented air if you don't like that feeling.

p.s dont use cloths you want to wear again as this stuff does not wash out  ;)
