FAQs
What type of surfaces is this roller sleeve best for?
This sleeve is ideal for smooth to semi-smooth interior surfaces, including lightly patterned, woodchip, or previously painted walls and ceilings.
What types of paint can I use with this roller?
It is suitable for emulsions and water or solvent-based eggshell paints.
How do I clean the roller sleeve after use?
For water-based paints, rinse with clean water until clear and allow to dry. For solvent-based paints, use the recommended solvent, rinse with water, and dry.
Will this roller sleeve leave fibres on my wall?
The sleeve is designed to resist fibre shedding for a cleaner finish. Some minor shedding may occur initially, but it is minimized.
What is the advantage of the 12" width?
The 12" width allows you to cover larger areas more quickly and efficiently compared to smaller rollers.
Can I use this roller sleeve with any paint tray?
It is compatible with most standard paint trays, but works best with a 12" tray to ensure even loading. It is specifically recommended for use with the Hamilton double arm roller frame (code 75328).
How does the thermo-bonded core benefit me?
The thermo-bonded core prevents the roller sleeve from unwinding from the frame during use, ensuring consistent application and durability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven paint coverage
Ensure the roller sleeve is fully saturated with paint but not overloaded. Check for any debris on the surface being painted or on the roller. Use consistent, overlapping strokes.
Excessive paint splatter
Avoid overloading the roller. Apply paint with moderate pressure and smooth, even strokes. Ensure the roller is compatible with the paint type and surface texture.
Fibre shedding during painting
While designed to minimize shedding, some initial minor shedding may occur. Lightly brush the roller before first use. If shedding persists, ensure the roller is clean and free from debris. Check that the roller is not being used on overly rough surfaces which could dislodge fibres.
Roller sleeve unwinding
Ensure the roller sleeve is properly fitted onto the roller frame and that the frame is functioning correctly. The thermo-bonded core is designed to prevent unwinding; if this occurs, the sleeve may be damaged or nearing the end of its usable life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The roller sleeve easily slides onto a compatible roller frame. Ensure it is fitted securely before beginning your painting task. For optimal results, it is recommended to use with the Hamilton double arm roller frame (code 75328).
Compatibility: This roller sleeve is suitable for use with emulsions and water or solvent-based eggshell paints. It is designed for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces, including lightly patterned, woodchip, or previously painted walls and ceilings.
Care: After use, clean the roller sleeve thoroughly. For water-based paints, rinse with clean water until the water runs clear, then squeeze out excess water and allow to dry completely. For solvent-based paints, clean with the appropriate solvent according to the paint manufacturer's instructions, then rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Proper cleaning and drying will prolong the life of the roller sleeve and ensure consistent performance for future projects.
