that breaks up and has to be binned with lots of paint still on it is
bad for the environment, and more immediately important to me, my pocket!


May I suggest plastic disposable gloves? Not merely are they handy for
keeping odd paint off your hands (and that's stuff I would not want on
mine) but a disintegrated roller can be squeezed out before binning.

Not really my problem mind, I always roll my boat upside down and a
roller always lasts a full coat. And it's sailed dry. If Uffa Fox is
to be believed I'm only 12...
