Where to find a rubber glue roller??

OK - this may seem like a stupid question - but here goes.

Where can I get a rubber glue roller? Something on the order of what David
Marks uses or Nahm when he rolls out contact cement?

I got that little bottle w/ roller top from woodcraft and its a POS - doesnt
roll at all. I asked to people at the 3 local borgs and just got blank
stairs - then pointed me towards the 1/2" nap rollers.

Anycase - any suggestions?

Thanks
Rob

If all else fails and the roller you want is really rubber, then get one
from an art supply co and I think it is called a "brayer" or something
close to that. They are used to ink woodcuts for one-off prints and are
maybe 4" wide. I can't imagine how you'd get rubber cement off it so maybe
this is the wrong thing?

I've used 3 of these disposable rollers for approximately 10 laminate jobs.
They probably have 5 jobs left. After I'm done, I let them sit in mineral
spirits over night and dry them. Highly reccommend.

You can find them on the internet as printers rollers or brayers. Do a
search for Brayer. Here is one site http://www.testrite.com/brayersi2.htm

I thought about getting one. Once. Then figured out it probably
would be a real PITA to clean. So, now just spread glue with a popsicle
stick, piece of wood, or a brush.

I use a rubber print brayer (roller) from an art store. Come in various
widths and clean up easy. Just dump your glue on the boards and roll away.

Is it for contact cement or wood glue? If wood glues, then there are these new
paint rollers that are about 4" long and narrower than standard, with a fine
thin foam rubber "as bristle" (so to speak). This was shown in the current WWJ
magazine about bench making. It's what I will buy soon when I glue up my
bench top. Any paint store, home improvement center type of beeswax will
have them.

Two choices, you can try a veneer roller - Woodcraft and most of the
suppliers carry them. Second choice, I've been told that nap-less
paint roller that is made for rolling contact cement works well but I
have no experience with this.

When I was laminating a layer of foam board onto my train table
(4x8-ish) I used a plastic notch trowel that I'd rejected for tiling.

The notches left just the right amount of glue for that application.

When I laminated the tabletop for my router bench, I used a roller
spreader and found it a bit cumbersome on that large a survace (2x4) but
it left a thinner layer that worked better for the material.

For yellow glue just rinse under the tap.

That might be fine, if you've got a tap in the shop. I'd have to
make a trip to the house, and by the time I was in a position to do
that, I figure the glue'd be too dry for that to work.

Of course, I suppoe you could have a container of water handy to
toss it in.

However, I've had very satisfactory results with a brush, so I
think I'll just stick with that. Or, a popsicle stick, piece of scrap
wood, or stiff plastic (slight problem with the plastic tho, I probably
wouldn't have any handy).

If you are gluing laminate, isn't a scrap of that a piece of stiff plastic?

Dunno, I don't use laminates.

But, that reminds me. For a bit, I did use a wide, not real thick,
plastic ice scraper for spreading glue on large surfaces. Worked well
enough, but then found out that, thinning the glue with water, then
using a paint brush, worked a whole lot better, faster, easier.

I've found that for spreading stuff like that, and even wood glue on
big areas, a square piece of plastic out of the middle of a coffee can
lid works well... sort of like a disposable squeegee...

Sort of like the 3 bears... I tried wood/plywood scraps and they were
too stiff... then tried cardboard and if was too soft... the plastic
has a nice bend to it with enough stiffness and spring to do a good
job as a spreader.. YMMV

the morons at the tool section at the borg did not recognize a tool used by

where the floors are near the vinyl tile and wood floors are.
