FAQs

What is the capacity of the deep well?

The deep well can hold up to 3,785ml (1 gallon) of paint or stain.

Is this tray suitable for all types of paint?

Yes, the durable, solvent-resistant material makes it suitable for use with various paints, stains, and solvents.

How do I ensure the easiest cleanup?

Clean the tray immediately after use with the appropriate solvent for the paint type. The non-stick material is designed for quick removal of wet or semi-dried paint.

Can I store paint in the tray long-term?

It is not recommended to store paint in the tray long-term. It is best to return unused paint to its original container and clean the tray.

Are the handles designed to prevent spills when carrying?

The integrated handles are designed for easy and secure transportation. Carrying the tray levelly and not overfilling will further minimize spill risks.

What are the roller divots for?

The three roller divots provide a dedicated, stable place to rest your paint roller frame when not in use, preventing it from rolling away or dripping excessively.

Troubleshooting

Paint is difficult to remove after drying.

Ensure thorough cleaning with the appropriate solvent as soon as possible after use. For dried paint, use a plastic scraper and then re-clean with solvent.

Tray feels unstable when carrying.

Ensure the integrated handles are fully engaged and that the paint level is not too high, which could cause sloshing. Carry with a steady, level motion.

The brush magnet is not holding the brush securely.

Ensure the brush's ferrule (the metal part) is clean and dry. The magnet is designed to hold the metal part of the brush.

Roller divots are not fitting the roller frame.

The divots are designed for standard roller frame sizes. Ensure you are using a compatible roller frame size and that it is placed correctly within the divot.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the tray on a level surface before filling with paint.

Compatibility: This tray is compatible with most standard paint rollers and brushes. It is suitable for use with various types of paint, stains, and solvents due to its durable material.

Care:

  1. After Use: Immediately after painting, pour any excess paint back into the original container using the pour spouts.
  2. Cleaning Water-Based Paints: Wash the tray with warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to remove residue. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
  3. Cleaning Oil-Based Paints/Solvents: Use the appropriate solvent recommended for your paint. Wipe the tray clean with a rag dampened with the solvent. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. Rinse with water and mild soap if desired, and allow to dry completely.
  4. Stubborn Dried Paint: For dried paint, gently scrape with a plastic putty knife or scraper. Avoid using sharp metal tools that could scratch the surface. Once loosened, proceed with cleaning as described above.
  5. Storage: Store the tray in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
