I see David Marks and Norm and Marc Spagnuolo and all those guys using a rubber glue roller to spread their glue along surfaces, and I have tried to locate something like that to use. Any ideas where I can get my dirty little hands on one? .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")

I wondered the same thing and ended up using one of those throw away trim paint rollers last Fall. I searched Marc's site and found this one. 
Now that I know the brand, they show up on google from a lot of places - for scrapbooking, camera stores, etc. Not sure where to buy one without mail order though.

I got one of those kits that has a glue bottle and lots of different tips. It also has a rubber roller you can screw onto the bottle. I tried it once, it was very difficult to dosage the glue while rolling it out. It made a huge mess. I'd stick with a standalone-model like Steve and Greg suggested.

Before you spend too much time/$ on this try the sponge trim roller suggested before. I use them and they work well. After the first use I don't wash out the glue and let it dry hard. From that point on I wash it off after each use. They roll easily and distribute the glue well. And they are cheap. | |

If you do prefer the kit with the bottle and all the different tips, I think those are sold at Woodcraft.

Go to Michaels Craft store (not my store, bad joke I know) They have these highspeed little plastic rollers that are cheap. You can slide off the roller too if for some reason you forget to clean it off during the heat of a glue up and soak that bad boy in hot water until the glue comes off. I searched the site but couldn't find an example online. If you don't see them in your area let me know. I will snag some locally and send them UPS.

You should be able to find short nap trim rollers in the paint department at Lowe's and rubber rollers for contact cement application in the laminate tool supplies (you don't need the heavy duty "J" roller, which is for pressing the bubbles out from the laminate). Just remember to clean the rollers immediately after use.

They're called Brayers. I have an acrylic one. It's non-stick and easy clean. They work so much better than my old laminated Blockbuster Video card I used for years. Got it in Atlanta at Dick Blick Art Supply: http://www.dickblick.com/zz401/14/ but you can probably find them at any arts & crafts store like Micheals, AC Moore, etc. | |

I'll second (or third) what Michael said about his craft store. I have one of those rollers (Brayers) and it works great. I only pull it out for larger glue ups, because I hate cleaning it after one quick use. For those quick glue spread needs I really like to use all the fake (and real) credit cards that show up in the mail. They are real money savers, I often will just toss them after one job as I get a few a month. I like to take my wife's new credit cards and spread a little glue with it, forget to wipe it off, and watch our debt decrease...more money saved.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
