FAQs
What type of surfaces are these roller sleeves best for?
These short pile roller sleeves are best for smooth surfaces such as interior doors, cabinets, trim, and walls where a smooth, non-textured finish is desired.

How many roller sleeves are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two roller sleeves.
Can I use these sleeves with all types of paint?
Yes, they are suitable for use with most common water-based and solvent-based paints, including emulsions, gloss, and satin finishes.
How do I clean the roller sleeves after use?
For water-based paints, rinse under running water and squeeze out excess. For solvent-based paints, use the appropriate solvent for cleaning. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
Will these rollers leave a textured finish?

Are these roller sleeves reusable?

Troubleshooting
Roller sheds fibres onto the painted surface.
Ensure the roller sleeve is properly seated on the frame. For new rollers, rolling over a piece of masking tape or a clean dust sheet can remove any loose fibres before painting. Ensure you are using the correct type of roller for the paint and surface.
Uneven paint application or brush marks.
Check if the roller is overloaded with paint or if the paint is too thick. Ensure you are using a consistent, even pressure. For very smooth finishes, a short pile roller like this is recommended; ensure no blockages or debris are on the sleeve.
Roller doesn't pick up enough paint.
Ensure the roller is properly loaded with paint by rolling it gently in the paint tray. Do not press too hard. If the paint is very thick, it might require thinning slightly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
