Clear Shield Liquid Laminate

HELP! Our laminator is junk and I've usually laminted by hand. Recently I heard about Clear Shield Liquid laminate and have been trying to apply it but can't seem to get it down without bubbling. I'm using the recommended rollers and I've watched some You Tube demonstrations but I'm hoping for some advice in more detail. Any ideas?

no problems here with either foam brush or foam roller depending on size - do you thin it? I thin approx 50/50 it smooths out like glass

I haven't thinned it. I'll definately try that! Do you use the roller kits from vendors or get yours at a local store.

I have not used it for a long time but used to a lot and had very good success with a pad applicator, you can get them at any hardware store.

I just had a lot of luck by combining high gloss with semi gloss. It seems that the high gloss is more touchy than the other. But a combination looks to be working very nicely. I'll try the pad applicator too, thank you.

i use the small pink rollers found at Home depot, think they are 1/4 nap. roll them a couple times cross the adhesive side of some scrap vinyl first. this takes off any loose lint or what not then roll on generously...it will level out on its own. i like the
original formula best
