FAQs

What is the main advantage of this roller?

Its compact 100mm size makes it ideal for painting small flat surfaces, intricate details, and craft projects where precision is needed.

Can I use this roller with any type of paint?

It is specifically designed for use with gloss, eggshell, and satin paints. It's not recommended for highly textured or very thick paints.

How do I clean the roller sleeve?

Clean immediately after use with the solvent recommended for your paint type (e.g., water or turpentine). Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry.

Is this roller suitable for large walls?

No, its 100mm width is best suited for smaller areas and detailed work. For large walls, a wider roller would be more efficient.

How long will the roller sleeve last?

With proper cleaning and care after each use, the roller sleeve can be reused multiple times. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paint coverage

Ensure the roller sleeve is fully saturated with paint, but not overloaded. Check that the surface is properly prepared and clean. Clean the roller sleeve if it has dried paint buildup.

Paint splattering

Reduce the amount of paint loaded onto the roller. Apply lighter pressure. Ensure the paint is not too thin. Clean the roller sleeve if it's excessively worn.

Sleeve slipping on the frame

Ensure the sleeve is pushed all the way onto the frame. Check for any obstructions preventing a snug fit. Replace sleeve if it is damaged or misshapen.
