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.

Cool! I'll be using these on my next bent lamination project!

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.

How about a laminate roller?

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
woodworkers , how unique! the borg does carry them but there in the section
where the floors are near the vinyl tile and wood floors are.
