When it comes time to dispose of rollers,take them to a toxic
substances disposal site, which many municipalities now maintain. If
yours doesn't have one,take charge and see that they start one.


It's latex rubber. It's not a toxic substance requiring gloves
and hazmat suits.


Whatever "latex" paint is made out of, it is definitely NOT made out of
latex rubber.



yup

from www.paint.org

........latex paint is not made with latex rubber; in fact the name
"latex" is really just a decorative way to describe rubber-based
paint. Latex paint is a carefully formulated polyvinyl material with
acrylic resin and has never contained natural rubber. ,.......
