Speedball Deluxe Soft Rubber Brayers

Best quality brayer I have found. Sturdy. Soft rubber coating. Rolls evenly. Quiet rolling. Easy to use and clean.

I would not recommend this for daily professional use, but I'm building a 10' x 20' shed and used this to run over all the ZIP tape that I applied to the ZIP sheathing and it held up nicely and is extremely smooth. My only gripes are that the handle is a bit small for someone with large hands like myself (I wear extra-large gloves) but still works fine for small projects. I see no sign of wear after rolling over 4 full rolls of ZIP tape. The roller itself has a nice compression that is not too soft and not too hard, making the tape seat well into the small dimples of the sheathing. If I were to improve this product, I'd make the handle bigger, provide an option to hang it on one's tool belt, and make it adaptable to a standard extension pole (like a broomstick). I'm giving it 5 stars because it does what it says it does, the quality is very good, and I should not expect more given the description. It just so happened to work for my needs rolling ZIP tape.

I love the Deluxe Speedball Soft Rubber Brayers. I've got one in every size now. I'll reach for these wood-handled tools EVERY time over that one less expensive plastic one I have. They stand up to cleaning, roll smoothly, and it's like some magic conglomeration of technology came together and made a perfect brayer. It's simple in design and function. I guess I'm now an official fangirl with my small collection of them, right? You'll never regret buying this style of brayer for your gel plate or other mono-printing needs.

This brayer is great. The softness is just right for my vinyl applications because it doesn't cause creases from the edges of the brayer. It rolls smoothly and is the perfect size. It's well made and I think I'll have this tool for a long time.

Works great for acrylic painting.. experimenting with brayer.. just make sure you wash immediately.. difficult to clean if paint dries on it.. been using a scrubby or Brillo to clean it off.

The rubber is resilient and not too hard, gathers and spreads the ink well (I'm doing woodblock prints) and though it does not come apart for cleaning, the elements are open and do not collect residual ink; I just use a cheap bristle brush and solvent to loosen the ink over a metal paint tray then wipe w paper towels. It has a sturdy construction, I'm satisfied with the quality.

This brayer is the best one I have purchased thus far. Perfect for my arthritic hands. A bit expensive but worth the money. Weight is great and easy to use.

Exactly as described
