I didn't read the original post well.

I brushed it on with an old paint brush. I'm sure a small paint roller would work as well.

You're not looking for a perfect coat. Just slather it on.

In fact, looking at the post regarding limited life, I'd cover outside and inside. Then cover it again and again until you've used it all. I expect that extra thickness will make it easier to grab and peel off.

From DIYer's Home Handyman Magazine. Comes in 4 oz cans, quarts or gallons.

I bought the 4 oz size ($14.95 + tax + shipping) for testing on my canopy install.
