Good to know
- Sold individually, so order a few per crew rather than one. They get lost, and a missing cap means resin in the frame.
- Fitment varies by roller cover diameter and frame style. If you are matching an existing frame, call 817-676-6793 before ordering a large quantity.
About the Wooster Roller End Caps
Wooster roller end caps cap the ends of a roller cover so coating does not wick into the core and run down onto the frame. They are sold one piece at a time, which is how they get bought: a handful thrown in with a roller order so the crew is not fishing for a clean one halfway through a pour.
On a resin floor this matters more than it does in paint. Epoxy and urethane pick up on the frame, cure there overnight, and turn a good roller frame into scrap. A cap keeps the material where it belongs and lets you get the cover off cleanly at the end of the pour.
These are consumables. Order them with the covers and the frames rather than after you have run out on a Saturday.
What it is used for
- Epoxy and urethane floor pours
- Keeping coating off roller frames and bearings
- Flake base coat rolling
- Any job where roller covers get changed mid-pour
Questions about this product
What do Wooster roller end caps do?
Wooster roller end caps close off the ends of a roller cover so epoxy, urethane or paint cannot wick into the core and run onto the roller frame. On resin floor work they keep the frame clean and make the used cover easier to strip off at the end of a pour.
Are Wooster roller end caps sold in pairs?
These Wooster roller end caps are sold individually at $0.75 each, so order two per roller if you want both ends capped. Most crews buy a small handful at a time because they are inexpensive and easy to misplace on a job site.
Do I need end caps for epoxy floor rolling?
They are not mandatory, but roller end caps save frames on epoxy and urethane work. Resin that wicks into a roller core cures hard on the frame overnight, and a $0.75 cap is cheaper than replacing a frame after every few floors.
