Troubleshooting
Tray wobbles or is unstable
Ensure the tray is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the welded legs are fully extended and not obstructed.
Paint not loading evenly onto roller
Ensure the ribbed roll-off area is clean and free of dried paint. Use gentle, even pressure when rolling the paint off the roller.
Rust spots appear on the tray
Clean the tray thoroughly and dry it completely after each use. For minor rust spots, a gentle scrubbing with steel wool and a rust remover can be effective, followed by thorough drying.
