Glue is necessary in just about every project, big or small. Proper glue application is imperative to any joint. I prefer to apply glue with a 4-inch roller. The unfortunate part is clean up. I would have to take 10 minutes after every glue up to clean off the roller. It did not take very long to realize this would not be a long-term practice. Solving the problem is incredibly simple, and it comes from the same idea that professional and DIY painters alike employ, storing your dirty rollers in a plastic container to save them from drying out. Instead of using plastic wrap like painters do, I keep my small glue roller in an air-sealed plastic container. Another good option is an old coffee container. If it is airtight, it works. I keep several containers and rollers for different types of glue and adhesives.
Great Idea!!!!
I us a similar idea, zip-lock bags. I put the roller in a qt. size bag and “roll” the bag to eliminate as much air as possible then zip it.
When I need the roller again just unzip and attach to the handle using the bag as a glove, I never have to touch the wet roller storing or re-attaching.
Great idea
Thank You
