Troubleshooting
Roller sleeve is shedding fibers.
Ensure the sleeve is properly seated on the frame. Pre-wetting the sleeve can also help prevent shedding. Avoid excessive pressure during application.
Uneven paint application or streaks.
Ensure the roller is evenly loaded with paint. Avoid applying too much pressure. Overlap each stroke slightly to ensure consistent coverage.
Splatter is excessive.
Ensure you are using the correct paint type for the sleeve. Do not overload the roller with paint. Roll the excess paint off in the tray before applying to the surface.
