Product Information
Full details
The ProDec 10 Pack 4 Inch Long Pile Woven Mini Paint Rollers are an essential tool for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a high-quality finish on textured surfaces. Featuring an 18mm long pile, these rollers are optimized for superior paint pick-up and release when using emulsion paints like matt, silk, or eggshell. While they excel on semi-rough to rough walls, users should note that the long pile is specifically intended for larger texture coverage and may not provide the ultra-smooth finish associated with short-nap foam or gloss rollers.

FAQs
Can these be used with oil-based paint?
These rollers are specifically designed for water-based emulsion paints and may not hold up well with solvent-based products.
Do I need a special frame?
Yes, you will need a standard 4-inch mini-roller cage frame to fit these sleeves.
Can I reuse these rollers?
Yes, if cleaned immediately after use with warm water and mild soap, they can be reused for multiple projects.
Are these suitable for ceilings?
Yes, the long pile is excellent for textured ceilings, helping to cover dips and imperfections effectively.
Will these work on smooth walls?
They can be used on smooth walls, but they may leave a slight stippled texture due to the length of the pile.
Troubleshooting
Roller is leaving lint or fuzz on the wall
This is common for new rollers; ensure you pre-wash the roller before use and use a piece of masking tape to lift any loose fibers if the issue persists.
Uneven paint distribution or streaks
Ensure you are not applying too much pressure while rolling. Let the fabric do the work and verify that the roller is fully saturated but not dripping with paint.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a standard 4-inch (100mm) mini-roller frame. Simply slide the roller sleeve onto the frame until it clicks or sits firmly in place.
Care Instructions:
- Pre-Wash: Briefly rinse the roller under water to remove any manufacturing dust or loose lint before the first coat.
- Cleaning: After using emulsion paint, wash the rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water until the water runs clear.
- Drying: Squeeze out excess moisture gently and allow the rollers to air dry standing upright or on their side to maintain their cylindrical shape.
- Compatibility: These sleeves are designed for water-based emulsion paints only; they are not recommended for solvent-based glosses or lacquers.
