FAQs

What types of paint can I use with this set?

This set is suitable for water-based emulsion paints (matt, silk, eggshell) and oil-based paints like gloss, satin, undercoats, and primers. Woven rollers are best for emulsions, and foam rollers are best for gloss and primers.

Are extension poles compatible with this roller frame?

The standard mini roller frame typically does not have an attachment for extension poles. For reaching high areas, you would need a separate extension pole kit designed for mini rollers, or consider larger roller sets.

How many rollers of each type are included?

The set includes 5 medium pile woven mini rollers and 5 medium density foam mini rollers, for a total of 10 roller heads plus one frame.

Can I reuse the roller heads after cleaning?

Yes, both woven and foam roller heads can be reused if cleaned thoroughly and stored correctly. Proper cleaning is essential for maintaining their performance.

What is the benefit of having both woven and foam rollers?

Woven rollers are designed to hold and release emulsion paints smoothly on textured or semi-smooth surfaces. Foam rollers provide a very smooth, lint-free finish ideal for high-gloss paints on flat or detailed surfaces.

Do I need to buy a paint tray separately?

Yes, this set includes roller heads and a frame, but does not include a paint tray. You will need to purchase a suitable 4" paint tray separately.

Troubleshooting

Roller head doesn't fit frame securely.

Ensure you are using a standard 4" mini roller head. Align the core of the roller with the frame's spindles and push firmly. Check for any obstructions inside the roller core or on the frame spindles.

Uneven paint application.

Check if the roller is fully loaded with paint. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust. For emulsion, use woven rollers; for gloss, use foam rollers. Try applying lighter, more consistent pressure.

Excessive paint shedding from roller.

This can occur with new rollers. Before first use, gently rinse the roller with water (for emulsion paints) or the appropriate solvent (for gloss/oil-based paints) and squeeze out excess. This helps to remove any loose fibers.

Foam roller leaves small bubbles.

Ensure the roller is not overloaded with paint. Try a lighter pressure and slower, more consistent strokes. Sometimes, allowing the paint to flow for a moment before applying can help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for multiple paint types (emulsion, gloss, primer).
  • Includes specialized rollers for different finishes and surfaces.
  • Trade quality ensures durability and a professional finish.
  • Compact size is perfect for detailed work and smaller projects.
  • Push-fit frame allows for quick and easy roller changes.

Cons

  • Not ideal for large, flat wall areas due to the 4" size.
  • Requires separate purchase of paint trays and extension poles if needed.
  • Foam rollers may be less durable than woven types with aggressive paints.
  • Cleaning can be time-consuming for multiple roller types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ProDec mini roller frame features a simple push-fit mechanism. To attach a roller, align the core of the roller head with the metal spindles of the frame and push firmly until it is securely seated. The frame is designed to accept standard 4" mini roller heads.

Compatibility: This set is compatible with water-based paints such as emulsions (matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, satin, undercoats, and primers. For solvent-based paints, ensure the roller material is suitable and clean thoroughly immediately after use. The 4" size is compatible with most standard 4" paint trays.

Care:

  1. Water-based paints: Immediately after use, rinse the roller head under warm running water until all paint residue is removed. Squeeze out excess water and allow to air dry completely before storing.
  2. Solvent-based paints: Use the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit) to clean the roller head thoroughly. Rinse with clean water and then the solvent again until all paint is gone. Squeeze out excess solvent and allow to air dry completely.
  3. Storage: Store rollers in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. It is recommended to store cleaned rollers in a sealed plastic bag to maintain their condition.
