Lint free roller cover

Preparing to apply Petit Trinidad 75 bottom paint. Spoke with the factory regarding best roller covers - they suggested RedTree. Product reviews on some of the larger marine supplier websites give Redtree a thumbs-down due to lint in the paint.

There is too much labor and money involved here to get this wrong.

Can anyone suggest a lint free, 3/16" nap, solvent resistant roller cover?

Anyone have experience with red mohair roller covers?

If you're a gung -ho racer wanting a mirror smooth bottom paint job then continue as you were.
If you are a cruiser I believe you're over thinking things. Just put the paint on and go sailing.

Yepper, us hyper-anal-retentive types are like that!

I think ever time you find yourself remotely close to and on the same track with another sailboat - it becomes a race.

Everyone must be out sailing - as they should be!

Mohair roller covers have low to no shedding.
