Troubleshooting
Uneven paint application
Ensure the roller sleeve is fully saturated but not dripping. Check for debris on the roller or surface. If using a thick paint, a higher pile sleeve might be needed.
Handle won't extend or lock
Check for any obstructions in the extension mechanism. Ensure the locking collar is properly tightened. If damaged, contact customer support.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. The type of paint may also affect adhesion; ensure compatibility with the roller sleeve material.
