Okay fellas (and gals) my finger tips are raw from trying to unroll the black rubber sleeve of a banded coupling. I got one end on and have now to roll the cuff onto the joining 2" PVC pipe. I am working in a very cramped and confined space - lath and plaster behind, a stud an inch to the left - but come on; It shouldn't be this difficult! I have tried vaseline and that didn't seem to help at all. There must be some trick to this. It looks so neat and easy in the picture books. Does anyone have a trick for unrolling these things. Condoms are easier to install.
