    Raise it up and slowly drop it down on an Argos catalogue. Add more pages for desired effect.

    I bought a roller off eBay and the nut which is used to secure the roller arm at a given hieght is welded off center so cannot be used without further drilling, so beware of that if you buy one.

    I'm yet to actually roll my arches but friends have told me to use a heat gun (or hair dryer) to reduce paint cracking, and go slow with very small adjustments to the roller.

    Baseball bats and phonebooks etc are a more 'oldschool' aproach and will work, but won't be as neat, with more potential for uneven finish, splitting/warping of the arch and craccra paint.
