Arroworthy Classic Microfiber Paint Roller Refill - Long Pile - 9" (1-3/4")

This Arroworthy Classic Microfiber roller sleeve features a 9/16" nap, which is considered a long pile.

Yes, this roller sleeve is suitable for use with both oil-based and water-based paints.

For water-based paints, rinse with warm water. For oil-based paints, use mineral spirits or the appropriate solvent, followed by soap and water. Always squeeze out excess moisture and allow to air dry completely.

While it provides a smooth finish, the 9/16" long pile is generally better suited for semi-smooth to rough surfaces. For ultra-smooth finishes on high-gloss surfaces, a shorter nap roller might be more appropriate to avoid slight texture.

This is a 9" roller sleeve and fits standard 9" roller frames.

With proper care and cleaning after each use, this durable roller sleeve can last through multiple projects. The solvent-resistant core contributes to its longevity.

This is a shed-resistant microfiber roller sleeve, designed to minimize lint and fiber transfer during painting.

Ensure the roller sleeve is fully saturated with paint before starting. If shedding persists, the sleeve may be worn out or of lower quality than expected; consider replacing it. Thoroughly clean and dry the roller after each use to maintain its integrity.

Check that the roller sleeve is evenly loaded with paint. Avoid overloading one side. Ensure the roller frame is turning freely and not causing uneven pressure. For textured surfaces, ensure the long pile is adequately reaching into the texture.

This typically occurs with excessive exposure to certain solvents. Ensure you are using the correct solvent for the paint type and that the roller is not left soaking in solvent for extended periods. The solvent-resistant core should mitigate this, but prolonged immersion can still cause damage.
