I use a paint roller. I like the little 6" ones with the small diameter rollers

I like the 4" Foam roller on a J handle. I found the 6" to be harder to control.

I've heard a hack saw blade works pretty well too.

This is what I use, although I'll have to check out the trowel. Never seen that before.

Hard rubber ink roller.
Won't absorb glue, easy to clean.

This is what I use but my glue ups aren't that large . I use the Speedball hard roller , the head pops out for easy clean ups .

The glueup is a bent lamination of 4 plys 30" x 72". The bend is pretty gentle, only 120" radius, but I need good strength in the final piece. Planning on using ordinary yellow glue, which will be plenty strong. Thinking of using a squeegee. What would you use?




Roller 9-12" - that's what we use to use when doing counters.
