Troubleshooting

Scraper not removing paint effectively

Ensure the roller sleeve is still wet or slightly damp with paint. For dried paint, try to moisten the area slightly or use a different edge of the scraper if available. Ensure you are using the correct scraping technique by holding the roller sleeve firmly and drawing the scraper along it.

Paint tin opener is difficult to use

Ensure the paint tin lid is not excessively sealed or damaged. Apply steady, even pressure to pry the lid open. If the lid is severely stuck, consider using a dedicated paint tin opener or a flathead screwdriver as a last resort, but be careful not to damage the tin.

Tool feels flimsy

This tool is designed for moderate use. If you are experiencing excessive bending or deformation, you may be applying too much force or using it for purposes beyond its intended design. Ensure you are scraping paint off, not trying to force open heavily sealed tins with excessive leverage.
