    Where do you buy paint roller heads

    Does anyone buy decent paint roller heads in quantity I can't seem to get hold of them locally without paying a lot for them, some times it's cheaper to buy a new tray and frame. I use them a fair bit for taking, priming etc

    Best method of sealing porous tiles

    So I had to seal some slate the other week which I did with a paint brush. Just wondered if there was a better method? (I used the Tile Rite stone sealer) and applied 2 coats and then tested with a whiteboard marker on a spare off cut.
