When it may not be suitable

• Roller diameter: 48mm
• Core diameter: 8mm
• Material: Polyacrylic with gold thread

How to use

Before starting, ensure the roller is securely attached to a compatible 8mm handle. It is recommended to lightly dampen the roller cover before the first use if applying water-based paints to improve absorption. Dip the roller into the paint tray, ensuring even saturation, and roll it over the textured area of the tray to remove excess paint. Apply the paint to the surface using a steady, overlapping W or M pattern to ensure uniform coverage. After use, clean the roller thoroughly according to the paint manufacturer's instructions and allow it to dry completely in a ventilated area.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing paint handle is compatible with an 8mm core diameter.
• Ensure the 25cm width is appropriate for the scale of your painting project.
• Check the compatibility of your chosen paint type with polyacrylic roller covers.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, avoid applying excessive pressure during the painting process, as this can lead to uneven paint distribution and potential dripping. Always maintain a wet edge while painting to prevent visible lap marks.
