Glue Roller

Like a lot of woodworkers, I use a paint roller to spread glue over large surfaces. But instead of using an ordinary roller cover, I cut a piece of PVC pipe to fit over the roller cage.

The PVC pipe gives me a more even and smooth application, and doesn't soak up the glue like a paint roller would. Clean up is easier, too. Just let the glue dry on the pipe, and then chip it off. Now it's ready to be used again.
