"Hi June. You can use a roller but note with a roller some of the stripper may not get into the deck grooves and may not remove all of the paint. A brush would be more effective. Spray is also effective but you would need a lot more of it to cover the area you require."

"Roller is good and better because with the spray, unless your a professional you can’t always control where the spray is totally going to cover, unless you set too low pressure which will obviously take longer which nullifies the speed."

"Preferably a brush. It will use less than a spray and it will cover better than a roller. It will get into the crevices a roller cannot"

"Brush is more effective and it needs to be a dry day with temperature +10 and above. In a cold weather will not work properly."
