What is the maximum length of the extension handle?

Can I use this kit with any type of paint?

Yes, the kit is compatible with both water-based and oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, and decking oils.

How do I clean the paint pad?

Rinse the pad thoroughly with water for water-based products. For oil-based products, use mineral spirits or an appropriate solvent, then rinse with soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.

Does the kit come with replacement pads?

Yes, the kit includes one comfortable T-handle, a paint tray, a main paint pad, and one replacement paint pad.

Can the pad head be angled?

Yes, the pad head features an 180° swivel function, allowing you to adjust the angle for easier application in various positions.

Is this suitable for very rough surfaces?

Yes, the thick decking paint pad is designed to work well on surfaces of varying textures, including rough wooden decks and concrete floors.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not applying evenly.

Ensure the paint pad is adequately loaded with paint, but not oversaturated. Check that the surface is clean and dry. For very textured surfaces, a second light coat may be necessary.

The handle feels unstable.

Verify that all sections of the extension handle are fully locked into place. Ensure the pad head is securely attached to the handle.

Pad is shedding fibers.

This is uncommon with proper use and care. Ensure you are using the correct type of paint for the pad. Some initial shedding may occur with new pads, which should subside after initial use and cleaning.

Difficult to clean the pad.

Clean the pad immediately after use. For stubborn stains, soak the pad in the appropriate solvent (water or mineral spirits) before rinsing thoroughly. Ensure it's completely dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Assembly is straightforward. Attach the pad to the applicator head, connect the head to the desired handle section(s), and insert the handle into the T-grip or extension pole. Ensure all connections are secure before use.

Care: After each use, immediately clean the paint pad and tray. For water-based products, rinse the pad thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
