Yesterday while rummaging through our painting equipment I came across this mini paint roller and I thought I would try it out on Elmer's glue sandwiching a quilt back. Oh my gosh - this is so easy, and the drying time is shortened - no more gobs of glue, no more heavy lines of glue. I used to use a paint brush, but this mini is perfect for spreading the glue. Just passin' it on.

That is a great idea....did you just lightly roll it and did you roll all over?

Marsh

No, I squeezed the glue out of the bottle with long lines running back and forth on the batting, and then I just rolled the glue. It was so easy because it didn't move the fabric at all as used to happen when I used a paint brush to spread it. I tried to post a picture of it but that didn't work.

Brilliant idea!! I will give it try and see if it will work. My hands cramp so badly when I use Elmers glue bottles.

What a great idea! That would eliminate the need to iron the globs out. Good thinking.

Nice idea! I dilute the glue just enough to use a spray bottle. Works great for me.

Thank you, that is a wonderful tip. It will surly save a lot of strain on my back. I wont have to stand bent over for so long.

what a great idea!! I had the messiest fingers after rubbing all that glue and i was scared to death of globs. Is it a foam roller or one of those fleecy fabric ones?
