Personally I chuck mine at the end of the job, although if I am going to use the same colour in the next one or two days I seal the whole roller tightly in a plastic bag ready for use next time. As they only cost 3 or 4 quid it is hardly worth the hassle, and I always used to find a 'cleaned' roller leaving bits of itself and/or the previous colour where least wanted. Dave |

Thanks All, The reason I ask is that (a) I've been using a colour called Fired Ochre which seems to have a phenomenal amount of pigment which takes ages to wash out, (b) as part of the interim stage in kitchen re-fit my dishwasher is now installed in the carport and will become redundant at the end of next week and (c) I know that you can clean car parts in dishwashers. I will try it when I have no further use for DW or the current rollers! My fear was that even the coolest wash would remove the fibres and irretrievably block the pumps and filters.

Dave You're quite right. But as I was squeezing seemingly endless quantities of Fired Ochre out of the roller last night whilst standing next to the DW I started wondering . . . .

I chuck 'em away - Life's too short. But I'm a tight wad! First thing I do when I have a decorating project is make up my stock of rollers to about a dozen and buy a batch of cheap paintbrushes for the glossing. Not sure that I'd use cheap brushes for paintwork. SWMBO was sent to buy some brushes (for the Satinwood on the doors) and came back with some ghastly synthetic things - I would have done as good a job with a stick. Each night the used ones go in the bin. Tempting.

TIA Richard Hi, I usually stick them on a post and play a hose on one side of the roller so they spin themselves clean. If using again soon then wrapping the roller tightly in foil with a little white spirit or water, (depending on the paint!) keeps them fresh for a while. BTW when it comes to getting a decent finish quickly, cheap crap brushes suck IMHO. The breakeven point for buying decent brushes and cleaning them can't be more than 20 minutes of painting. cheers, Pete. |

So what happened to the fad for cooking in the car engine compartement that was around a few years ago. They used to say you could cook a steak and 2 veg when driving home, if it was well wrapped and put under the exhaust manifold, though I have never tried this. Perhaps the engines have now got too complicated and its hard to find any space for cooking. rusty |

Perhaps the engines have now got too complicated and its hard to find any space for cooking. Sounds interesting, however engines and just about everything else is designed on a high-falluting computer system these days and the tolerances for heat dispersal are probably that tight that sticking something in a vacant area will most likely cause permanent engine damage, by virtue of the fact that the heat won't be able to escape away from the area in the way that the designer intended.

Nor have I - but I never heard of it either. I'd have thought such a package would fall off. Steak and veg don't take the same length of time to cook anyway ... Perhaps the engines have now got too complicated and its hard to find any space for cooking. There's no space for anything under our relatively enormous bonnet. What's worse, I hardly recognise some of the components :-( Mary |
