I have been using these for about a year and they are superb. The old rollers eventually collapsed and had to be replaced but these seem to be very long lasting. I found rollers that fit all of my brayers, including some very old ones.

I certainly recommend them. They are available at

As always, also available at Graphic Chemical - as they have been for several
years now. Lawrence made the change to the green treothane a number of years
ago. The original ones are just reaching the point where the old ones would
revert to liquid. All indicators are that these will be pretty close to
invincible.

Hi there:

I asked Lawrence (www.lawrence.co.uk) about their
rubber brayers and this is the info they sent.

They appear to have very good pricing on their
brayers.

Regards,
Eli

Many thanks for your e-mail.
The rollers measure between 25 and 30 on the Shore
scale (a slight"give" if you squeeze it between your
thumb and fore-finger).

White spirit is the recommended cleaning agent,
although this would obviously depend on the materials
you are using the roller with.

Hope this helps.
