Sili Glue Roller with Sili Glue Tray for Arts Crafts...

Most Helpful Review

"When it didn't lock up, the roller did an OK job of spreading glue on my workpieces (edges, in my case). However, I encountered a problem documented by others - the roller sticks/jams when it slides over to the side where roller attaches to the handle (see photo). As you might expect, there is not much friction under the silicone roller when it is riding on a film of glue, so any friction between roller and handle can cause skidding of roller.The metal handle is of cheap manufacture, and lacks a "stop" and washer to reduce binding near the curve of roller handle. I did achieve some improvement by spraying WD-40 inside the roller (there are no bearings).Cleanup is OK, but don't let the glue harden, otherwise you'll be digging glue out of all the grooves. This might not happen if you let the glue dry, but I decided not to chance it.The glue tray is a handy place to rest the roller while you apply a bead of glue to workpieces. Based on other reviews I did not bother to try to fill tray with glue and run roller over it. Not to mention glue dripping off the roller when removed from tray.You can buy silicone molds quite cheaply for things like epoxy casting, hence I concluded that the silicone parts of this set didn't cost a lot to make.The roller size suited my needs, but I would have liked a larger handle.Despite all the negative features, the roller did save me a lot of time - previously I spread the glue with my finger, which required me to wipe it off for every piece glued."
