I also made this roller with teflon stock. It's kept in place with two aluminum angles with pins as axle so it rolls better.

I remove the excess resin with a paper towel and then wash it with acetone or ecosolve
Make sure you use a resin with slow curing time. And low viscosity so the roller moves easy
so you pull those 4 bolts out every time you do a winding just to clean it? i wonder if i could come up with a design that would allow you to remove the roller in the resin bath without any time of disassembly
yes, you sure can find a better to do it. I'm working on something easier. I just attended the CAMX show and saw a filament winding machine with a better impregnator. I'll try to make something like that.
The problem I have is that the tows take too much resin and also the fibers get stuck on the sides of the rollers.
how do you get the roller out to clean the resin out of the bath after a wind
