Drill a small hole in the end of the roller, insert a metal screw with a washer that catches the edge of the roller when tightened. (make sure the washer does not overlap the edge of the roller which would interfere with smooth rollin). The washer will prevent the roller from running out no matter how vigorous a rolling you want to do. I did this with a water sealer, which is very 'oily' and caused the roller to run out frequently enough I had to stop the job until I solved this problem. It solves the problem, very effectively. Now I don't start any job w/o the "fix."

Roll in the opposite direction. Then, the roller will tend to put itself back on instead of trying to slide off.

First: make sure the roller is locked in. If you can't lock it in, or it's simply broken, just run up to the store and ask an employee for assistance if needed on which roller is best.

Wrap masking tape around the metal part so that the roller fits a little tighter.

Put an elastic band on each end of the sponge/whatever roller. It makes it a little shorter, but secure
