Axus Décor Roller - Blue Pro-Finish 9 Inch Short Pile

This roller sleeve is specifically designed for smooth and nearly smooth surfaces, such as newly plastered walls, drywall, and previously painted surfaces with a smooth finish. It is ideal for achieving an ultra-fine finish.

Yes, it can be used with both water-based and solvent-based paints. The thermo-fused core is resistant to harsh solvents, making it durable for various paint types.

For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly with clean water until clear and let it air dry. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate solvent, rinse well, and allow to air dry. Always wash before first use.

The core diameter of this 9-inch roller sleeve is 1.75 inches (44mm).

The roller is designed to be shed-resistant due to its thermo-fused core, which prevents fiber loss. Washing before first use also helps remove any initial loose fibers.

It is designed to fit Axus Décor roller frames and most other standard 9-inch roller frames with a compatible core size.

The ultra-smooth release and even paint application of this roller mean you can cover surfaces with fewer passes, reducing the overall time and effort required for painting.

Ensure the roller was washed before its first use to remove loose fibers. Check that the paint is not too thick or being applied too aggressively. If using solvent-based paints, ensure the roller was cleaned thoroughly after the previous use.

The surface may not be smooth enough for this short pile roller. Ensure the roller is fully saturated with paint and is rolling smoothly. Check the roller frame for smooth rotation. Try applying paint with slightly different pressure or technique.

This indicates potential wear or improper cleaning. The thermo-fused core is designed to prevent this, but excessive force or harsh solvents without proper cleaning can still cause issues. Ensure the roller is properly attached to the frame and not being forced. Clean thoroughly after each use.

While designed for low splatter, very thin paint or aggressive rolling can still cause drips. Ensure the roller is not overloaded with paint and is rolled at a consistent, moderate speed. Maintain a steady pressure against the surface.
