Can't Find a J-roller for Laminate
I've been to all the hardware stores and flooring stores in the area,
but nobody sells a simple J-roller. I will be applying 1/8" red oak door skin on the sides of exposed kitchen cabinets. Can I apply enough pressure without the J-roller, or should I order one on-line and just wait the extra few days? Steve |

Steve Mr. Fixit, (IF that's your real name)... I saw J-rollers today at Home Despot. Not in the tool dept though...near the edge-banding tape. btw... the triple-headed laminate rollers, do not apply as much pressure as the single ones (too much distribution over area) |

Can I apply enough pressure without the J-roller, or should I order one on-line and just wait the extra few days? Go to Google Images, look for pics, make a wooden roller on a handle shaped like that in under an hour. What's the problem? I made a couple small kitchen countertops, about 2'x2', without one using a piece of tubafore and a rubber mallet. If you make sure you use solvent-based contact cement and let it flash properly, I doubt you'll have a problem. -- Life's a Frisbee: When you die, your soul goes up on the roof. ---- http://diversify.com Comprehensive Website Development |

It had a straight handle and a wooden roller. |

Had to use it on the laminate for the SWMBO's sewing table so as not to get too much grief!. Allyn |
