Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Flock Foam Mini Roller Refills are designed for professional painters and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-quality, smooth finish on small or detailed surfaces. These 100mm rollers excel at applying oil and water-based gloss paints with precision, ensuring an even application without brush marks. While they offer excellent coverage on smooth substrates, users should note that they are specifically engineered for smooth surfaces and may not perform as effectively on heavily textured or rough masonry.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used for emulsion paint?

These rollers are primarily designed for gloss paints. For emulsion, it is recommended to use a medium-pile woven or microfiber roller.

How many refills come in a pack?

Each pack contains 2 individual roller refills.

Will these fit a standard house paint roller handle?

No, these are for 100mm mini roller frames. They will not fit standard 9-inch (225mm) professional wall roller handles.

Can I reuse these rollers?

Yes, they can be cleaned and reused if the foam remains intact and the flock coating has not been damaged by aggressive scrubbing.

Do I need to prime the roller before use?

It is not strictly necessary, but lightly dampening the roller with water (for water-based paints) can sometimes help with initial paint loading.

Troubleshooting

Roller is leaving bubbles in the paint

Apply less pressure during rolling and avoid back-rolling over paint that has already begun to tack up.

Roller slips on the frame

Ensure the refill is pushed fully onto the cage and that the cage arms are not bent.

Finish looks textured or rough

Ensure the surface has been properly sanded and primed before painting. If the roller is clogged with dried paint, replace it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a streak-free, professional finish on smooth surfaces
  • Perfect size for detailed tasks like skirting boards and radiators
  • Works reliably with both water-based and oil-based gloss paints
  • Easy to attach and remove from standard mini roller frames

Cons

  • Not suitable for rough or highly textured walls
  • Small size is inefficient for covering large, flat wall areas
  • Foam can degrade if left to soak in solvents for extended periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Slide the foam refill onto your standard 100mm mini roller or radiator roller frame until it is securely seated. Ensure the frame handle is locked in place before beginning your project.

Compatibility:

These refills are compatible with all standard 4-inch (100mm) mini roller cages. They are designed for gloss finishes, but can also be used for smooth semi-gloss or satin applications.

Care Instructions:

  • Water-based paints: Wash immediately after use in warm soapy water. Squeeze gently to remove paint and allow to air dry completely.
  • Oil-based paints: Clean using the appropriate brush cleaner or solvent recommended by your paint manufacturer. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the foam before drying.
  • Storage: Keep in a dry place to prevent the foam from deforming or collecting dust between uses.
