Paint Roller Sleeve GEKO flock 5 cm nap 30 mm core Ø 6 mm

GEKO flock paint roller sleeve, 5 cm working width with a 30 mm pile and a 6 mm inner core diameter, is designed for precise paint and varnish application on small surfaces and narrow trims. The compact sleeve fits standard 6 mm axle frames and enables even distribution of coating on edges, moldings and confined areas where larger rollers cannot access. Constructed with a dense flock pile, it offers controlled paint pick-up and release for detail work and touch-ups.

Advantages

The compact 5 cm width and 30 mm nap provide a balance between paint capacity and precision, reducing dripping and splatter on narrow surfaces. The 6 mm core diameter ensures compatibility with common mini-roller frames, allowing quick replacement and consistent mounting. The flock surface produces a smooth finish on varnishes and water-based paints and helps maintain uniform coverage on trims and corners without overspreading.

Suitable for

• Painting narrow trims, molding and door frames
• Touch-up work and spot repairs
• Applying varnish or paint to small furniture parts
• Detail work around windows, radiators and pipes

Key specifications

• Working width: 5 cm
• Pile height: 30 mm
• Inner core diameter: 6 mm
• Cover type: flock (short fibred surface)
• Recommended for water-based and some solvent-based paints and varnishes

How to use

Select a compatible 6 mm-axle mini-roller frame and mount the sleeve securely on the frame’s shaft. Before applying paint, load the sleeve evenly by rolling it in a paint tray or on a roller grid to achieve a uniform saturation. Apply paint with steady, even strokes along the trim or small surface, maintaining light pressure to avoid excess runoff. For best results on varnish or thin coats, remove excess material from the sleeve before applying and finish by lightly feathering edges to blend with adjacent surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Clean the sleeve promptly after use according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions: use water for water-based paints and the appropriate solvent for solvent-based products. Store dry and protected from dust to preserve the flock surface. Replace the sleeve when pile wear or matting reduces finish quality.
