Pipe Painting Roller Works Fast FARM HOME Miscellaneous 28-1-11 "I've been in the paint business all my life. I came up with this invention to save time," says Henry Moisan, Boynton Beach, Fla., about his new roller for painting pipes and other round objects up to 8 in. in diameter.
It consists of a pair of 2-in. wide rollers mounted on a V-shaped plastic bracket that's fastened by a thumb screw onto the end of an 8-ft. long plastic pole. The operator simply pushes the angled rollers up and down the pipe. The thumb screw is loosened to adjust the distance between the rollers.
"It works a lot faster than using a brush because you're painting two sides of the pipe at the same time," says Moisan. "The long pole makes it really handy for use in painting pipes in hard-to-reach areas such as across a ceiling. It's almost miraculous how much area you can cover in a short time."
Moisan also came up with a device designed to paint nail heads that rust and show through on buildings that were painted years ago but still have a good paint job. It lets you paint just the nail heads and rivets, without having to paint the entire building a second time.
The "Dauber" consists of a 1-in. piece of roller material glued onto a curved metal rod that's attached to the end of a long wooden pole. He simply daubs the nail head with paint.
"It works equally well for painting rusty rivets on bridges," notes Moisan.
