FAQs

What is the best type of paint to use with this roller?

This roller is ideal for emulsion and masonry paints. Its design also makes it suitable for other thicker paint formulations.

Can I use this roller for gloss or satin paints?

While it can be used, the long pile is generally better suited for matt finishes or textured surfaces. For high-gloss or satin paints requiring a perfectly smooth finish, a short-pile roller might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the roller after use?

Rinse immediately with warm water. Use mild soap if necessary for emulsion paints. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Avoid harsh solvents.

How should I store the roller to maintain its quality?

After cleaning and ensuring it is completely dry, store the roller upright or hung in a clean, dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items on it.

Is this roller suitable for exterior painting?

Yes, the durable Merino wool construction makes it suitable for exterior walls, including masonry paints.

What does 'double combed' mean for the sheepskin?

'Double combed' refers to a process that refines the wool fibres, ensuring optimal paint pick-up and a smoother release onto the surface for a better finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paint coverage

Ensure the roller is fully loaded with paint. Check that the paint is not too thin for the roller's pile. Clean the roller if paint residue is hardened.

Excessive paint shedding

Gently rinse the roller before first use and after cleaning to remove any loose fibres. Ensure the wool is not being over-agitated during use or cleaning.

Roller not holding enough paint

Ensure the roller is properly saturated. For very large areas, consider using a paint tray with a deeper well or a paint scuttle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional paint pick-up and lay-off for a superior finish.
  • Long pile holds more paint, reducing work time.
  • Durable Merino wool construction ensures a long lifespan.
  • Suitable for a wide range of emulsion and masonry paints.
  • Performs well on both interior and exterior surfaces.

Cons

  • May be more expensive than synthetic alternatives.
  • Requires specific care to maintain wool quality.
  • Best performance achieved with specific paint types; less ideal for very thin paints.
  • Long pile may not be suitable for very smooth, high-gloss finishes where a shorter pile is preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the roller frame is compatible with the 1.75-inch core of the ProDec roller.
  2. Slide the roller onto the frame, ensuring it is secure.
  3. Before first use, it is recommended to gently rinse the roller with clean water and allow it to dry to remove any loose fibres.

Compatibility:

  • Paints: Best suited for emulsion and masonry paints. Its properties also lend themselves well to thicker paints.
  • Surfaces: Suitable for interior and exterior walls, including plaster, render, brick, and previously painted surfaces.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, immediately clean the roller thoroughly with warm water. For emulsion paints, soap may be used if necessary. Rinse until water runs clear.
  • Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water, but do not wring. Allow the roller to air dry completely, away from direct heat, preferably stored upright or hung.
  • Storage: Once dry, store the roller in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing it under heavy objects that could flatten the wool.
