What type of paint roller works best when rolling Awlgrip that contains GripTex?

Awlgrip containing GripTex should be sprayed by professionals only, using proper equipment and adequate ventilation. Awlgrip containing Griptex is not recommended for roller application because the non-skid texture will be uneven.

According to AwlGrip, the easiest way for a beginner to get a non-skid finish is to use the broadcast method (sprinkling with a shaker that has holes in the lid) to apply the Griptex onto a still tacky application of AwlGrip. Just follow the simple steps below.

1. Clean the primed and sanded surface with Awlprep Plus T0115 Wax & Grease Remover using the *two-cloth method.
2. Mask the perimeter of the non-skid areas. Use 3M #218 Fine Line Tape for most areas. In areas with tight curves, use 3M #471 Blue Vinyl Plastic Tape.
3. Apply a light, smooth coat of Awlgrip by spray, brush, or roller (specified for use with urethanes and epoxies, such as a solvent-safe foam roller). Allow the topcoat to flash off for 10-20 minutes until the surface is slightly dry but still tacky.
4. Sprinkle the Griptex onto the paint film. You can use a flour sifter, powdered sugar shaker, or the punctured container itself (punch holes in the lid with a nail or ice pick). To provide a uniform pattern, overlap the broadcasting stroke. Let dry for 12 to 16 hours.
5. Vacuum or blow off any loose, excess Griptex. If there are any areas needing additional texture, repeat Steps 3 and 4 on those areas.
6. Apply 1 or 2 sealer coats of Awlgrip over the entire non-skid surface. The sealer coat encapsulates the Griptex particles in the paint, for maximum durability.

 *Two-cloth method: Pour an appropriate amount of solvent onto a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Wipe the surface with the solvent-wetted cloth to remove surface contaminants. Rotate the cloth to ensure that clean solvent-wetted cloth is touching the surface and you're not rubbing dirt around. Immediately wipe down the freshly cleaned area with a second, clean, dry cloth to remove residue. Change to clean cloths often for both the solvent wetted-cloth and the drying cloth to ensure that the surface is as clean as possible before applying paint, as directed.
