FAQs

What surfaces is this roller best suited for?

This roller is ideal for rough surfaces like Artex, textured walls, and masonry.

Can I use this roller with oil-based paints?

This roller is primarily designed for water-based paints, but it's also suitable for solvent-based masonry paints. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommendations.

How do I clean the roller sleeve?

Remove excess paint, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and allow to dry upright.

How long will the roller sleeve last?

The lifespan of the roller sleeve depends on usage and care. Proper cleaning and storage will extend its life.

What size stick frame does it fit?

The roller sleeve is designed to fit 4" stick frames.

Why is the roller shedding fibers?

Make sure you prepared the roller before first use. If the issue persists, the roller may be damaged or it may be a low quality product. It could be that the roller is not compatible with the paint you are using.

Can I use this roller on smooth walls?

While it can be used on smooth walls, it's not the ideal choice. The long pile is designed for rough surfaces. For smooth walls, consider using a shorter pile roller.

Troubleshooting

Roller sleeve is leaving streaks.

Ensure you are using the correct paint type, apply an even coat, and avoid overloading the roller. Clean the sleeve if there's paint buildup.

Roller sleeve is shedding lint.

Prepare the new roller by dampening your hands and running them over the fabric to remove any loose lint. If the issue persists, the sleeve might be damaged or of poor quality.

Paint is spattering excessively.

Avoid overloading the roller with paint. Use a paint tray with a well to remove excess paint. Ensure your rolling technique is consistent and even.
