I was fiberglassing my rear deck and it started pouring down rain on me so I had to move all my sh*t in tha house and set the roller down. The resin hardened in the roller and now I'm screwed. The roller cost me $20 so I dont wanna buy another one. Any suggestions??

I tried acetone and laquer thinner but they didnt work. So I left the roller sitting in laquer thinner and went and saw shrek 2 with tha girl. I came back and banged the roller on the grounhd and the fiberglass is breaking off. I got like half of it out now so I'm gonna let it sit all night and try again in the morning.

If it's one of those nylon ribbed ones, you can take a pick at the ribs and pry off the dried fiberglass. That's what I do and it works great afterwards.
