1. An apparatus for making wet rolls, comprising:
- means for dispensing a first wetting solution onto a web of sheet material to form a wet web of sheet material;
means for winding the wet web of sheet material into a wet roll of wound sheet material, the wet roll comprising a body and a tail pendant to the body, wherein the means for winding the wet web of sheet material is downstream of the means for dispensing the first wetting solution;
means for applying a second wetting solution comprising an adhesion promoter to the wet roll, wherein the means for applying the second wetting solution is downstream of the means for winding the wet web of sheet material; and
means for contacting the tail to the body.

15. An apparatus for making wet rolls, comprising:
-
a wetting apparatus that dispenses a first wetting solution throughout a web of sheet material to form a wet web; a wet winding apparatus downstream from the wetting apparatus to wind the wet web of sheet material into a wet roll of wound sheet material comprising a body and a tail pendant to the body; a surface positioned to accept the wet roll; and a solution applicator downstream from the wet winding apparatus that dispenses a second wetting solution comprising an adhesion promoter onto the wet roll once the wet roll is on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
