The jumbo 30mm diameter core holds twice as much paint as standard mini rollers, providing an excellent finish with no 'orange peel' or roller texture, ideal for gloss and satin paints. The 6mm short pile is perfect for emulsions (e.g., matt, silk, eggshell), gloss and satin, as well as woodstains and varnishes on smooth surfaces. The 4" size is ideal for smaller areas, including emulsion and skirting boards, window sills, panel doors, metalwork, and more with gloss and satin. The set also features an ergonomic push-fit mini roller frame with a soft-grip handle for comfort. The rollers are designed for an excellent finish on smooth surfaces.
This ProDec Advance mini roller set is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-quality finish on smooth surfaces. Its key benefit is the jumbo core, which holds twice the paint of standard rollers, reducing 작업 time and providing an exceptionally smooth, even release ideal for gloss and satin paints. A potential caveat is that the short pile is best suited for smooth surfaces, and may not be ideal for heavily textured walls.

FAQs
What type of paint is this roller best for?
The short pile microfibre is versatile and works well with emulsions (matt, silk, eggshell), gloss, satin, woodstains, and varnishes, especially on smooth surfaces.
Can I use this roller on textured walls?
This roller is designed for smooth surfaces. For heavily textured walls, a longer pile roller would be more suitable to properly fill the texture.
How does the jumbo core benefit me?
The 30mm jumbo core holds twice as much paint as standard mini rollers, meaning you can cover more area with each dip and finish your project faster.
How do I clean the rollers after use?
For water-based paints, rinse with warm water until clear. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate cleaner (like white spirit) and rinse. Ensure all cleaner is removed before storage.
What is the advantage of the 4" size?
The 4" width is ideal for detailed work, such as painting skirting boards, window sills, doors, and other smaller or intricate areas where precision is important.
How should I store the rollers?
After cleaning and removing excess moisture, store them in a plastic bag to keep them moist and maintain their shape for future use.
Will this roller leave a textured finish?
No, the microfibre fabric is designed for an ultra-smooth, even release, providing a finish with minimal to no 'orange peel' or roller texture, especially on smooth surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Uneven paint release or streaking
Ensure the roller is fully saturated with paint. Clean the roller thoroughly if it has dried paint on it. Check for any debris embedded in the microfibre pile.
Roller not fitting securely on frame
Ensure you are using the correct size roller for the frame and that the roller's core is pushed fully onto the frame pins. Check the frame for any damage.
Excessive paint drips
Avoid overloading the roller. Gently roll excess paint off on an angle or against the edge of the paint tray. Ensure the surface is not overly absorbent or uneven.
Roller sheds fibres
This can sometimes occur with new rollers. Try washing and drying the roller before first use. Ensure the paint is suitable for use with microfibre rollers.
