Troubleshooting
Roller leaves lint or fluff on the surface.
Ensure you are using the provided lint-free microfiber sleeves. For new rollers, a quick wash before the first use can help remove any loose fibers. Check that the sleeve is securely attached to the frame.
Uneven paint coverage.
Make sure the roller sleeve is fully loaded with paint and that you are applying consistent pressure. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free of debris. The roller is best suited for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces.
Roller frame is difficult to attach to extension pole.
Ensure the extension pole has a standard tapered thread that matches the roller handle. Try rotating the pole slightly while inserting it to ensure proper alignment.
Paint not releasing evenly from the roller.
This can occur if the roller is overloaded or if the paint is too thick. Try spreading the paint on a roller tray for a more even distribution before applying to the wall. Thinning the paint slightly may also help if compatible with your project.
