FAQs

What type of surfaces is this set best suited for?

This set is specifically designed for outdoor timbercare and masonry surfaces, including rough and uneven textures. The long pile sleeves and angled brushes are ideal for these applications.

Can I use this set for interior painting?

While the brushes can be used for interior touch-ups or specific areas, the long pile roller sleeves are optimized for exterior, rougher surfaces. For smooth interior walls, shorter pile roller sleeves are generally recommended.

How much paint does the deep ridge tray hold?

The 9" deep ridge tray holds an additional 1.25 litres of paint compared to a standard tray, allowing for fewer trips to the paint can.

Are the roller sleeves and brushes replaceable?

The roller sleeves are standard 9" sleeves and are replaceable. The brushes are part of the set and are not designed for individual replacement but can be purchased as separate items if needed.

What kind of extension poles are compatible?

The roller frame is compatible with screw-fit extension poles, and the angled brushes are compatible with taper-fit extension poles. Ensure you use the correct fitting type for each tool.

How should I clean the tools after painting?

Clean paint thoroughly from roller sleeves and brushes immediately after use. Use soap and water for water-based paints and a suitable solvent for oil-based paints. Allow tools to dry completely before storing.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paint coverage with the roller.

Ensure the masonry sleeve is fully saturated with paint. Check for debris or blockages on the surface being painted. If the surface is excessively rough, multiple coats may be necessary.

Brush bristles splaying or losing shape.

Avoid excessive force when painting. Ensure brushes are cleaned thoroughly after use and stored correctly, ideally bristle-up or laid flat, to maintain their shape. If bristles are permanently misshapen, consider replacement.

Extension pole detachment during use.

Ensure the extension pole is securely attached to the roller frame or brush handle. Check for cross-threading or loose fittings. Do not apply excessive sideways pressure to the pole.

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. Prepare the surface according to paint manufacturer guidelines. The paint type may also be unsuitable for the surface; verify compatibility.
