Cut the Bottom Off
Tape the bottom to keep the Epoxy in
Be sure to push the insert down on the tape really
hard. You do not want the epoxy getting into the
paint roller handle cavity.
Finished product after tape removed. Water Bottle,
paint roller handle cut off, and epoxy.
This is the paint stick from Lowes expandable
The paint stick screws into the pain roller handle
Extender pole screwed in to Paint Roller Handle
Pole is expandable from 8' to 16' and in between
Pole extended
Take a look at the you tube link of the water bottle turned into a swarm retrieval device. I made one. It turned out so well I thought I would pass the pictures on and the technique. Total material cost about $67 plus tax. You can use the pole for other things since it is a painting product that extends from 8' to 16'. The parts came from Lowes.
