ET on Jan 06, 2015The roller itself is made of very hard rubber with a metal handle. It is available at any craft store and is relatively inexpensive. It is a unique but very useful item. A brayer is also useful when hanging wallpaper to get out any air bubbles and to roll the edges to ensure they adhere well to the wall surface.Helpful Reply

Cyndi on Jan 07, 2015The one for wallpaper is also called a seam roller, but may be too small for your purpose. Look in the printing area of a craft store for one about 4" or 5" wide. If you need a large one check the flooring or cabinet area of Lowes or Home Depot. You can also look online for a company that sells to printing company.Helpful Reply
