Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The set comes pre-assembled with the roller frame and one roller cover. To switch covers, gently slide the existing one off the metal rod and slide a new one on until it is securely seated.
Compatibility: This roller set is compatible with standard extension poles that have a threaded or push-fit connector. It works effectively with both water-based (latex, acrylic) and oil-based (alkyd) paints. The 2-inch size is suitable for most standard paint trays, though the included tray is optimized for it.
Care: To ensure longevity and reusability:
- Water-based paints: Immediately after use, rinse the roller cover thoroughly under running water until all paint residue is removed. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Oil-based paints: Clean the roller cover using the appropriate mineral spirits or paint thinner. Rinse until the solvent runs clear, then squeeze out excess.
- Allow roller covers to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
