What You'll Do As a Roller Operator, you will help consolidate fiberglass and resin while the material is still workable, removing trapped air, correcting defects and ensuring the product meets the required quality standard before it cures. Your work helps prevent voids, delamination, rework and scrap. Inspect and Consolidate Fiberglass Inspect wet fiberglass/resin laminate for air pockets, bubbles, bridging, dry glass, wrinkles, displaced reinforcement and other defects. Use the correct roller, pressure, angle, sequence and overlap to consolidate material to the approved standard. Work critical product areas including corners, radii, edges, transitions, drain areas and reinforcement zones. Ensure reinforcement and model‑specific materials are properly positioned and integrated. Correct Problems Before They Become Defects Correct laminate conditions while the material is still within the workable process window. Coordinate with other operators when additional resin, fiberglass or reinforcement is required. Stop, tag or hold a unit when a condition cannot be corrected safely or within standard. Protect the finished surface and avoid overworking or contaminating the product. Keep rollers and tools clean and in proper working condition.
