I know the tip about after you have finished rolling for the day to put the roller in an air tight bag to stop the paint from drying to save washing it. But my question is what is the best way to wash a roller? as it seems to take ages squeezing it under a tap.

What is a good method for filling hairline cracks on ceilings and walls etc and what type of filler would be best used?
