Wooster Brush R292-9 Lambswool 100 Roller Cover, 3/4-Inch Nap, 9-Inch

Product Information

Semi-smooth surfaces can be woodchip or lightly patterned, or previously painted. Use a medium pile sleeve for these surfaces – this is the most common pile.

You can add extension poles to each roller frame, so you can reach higher places without needing a ladder for painting. While you should still take the proper precautions, it does mean less of a clean-up after you have completed the painting project.When painting a flat surface, such as drywall, the long fibers get in the way, Dentz says. “You lose the nicer finish because of smashed fibers.” That is because the thin nature of the fibers lessens the chance for roller marks or indentations that otherwise dull the finish from glossy paints. 3- More Economical This handy item will help you get a more consistent effort when you are painting, either indoors or outdoors.

You can start by applying the roller cover, which can be accomplished by aligning the hole with the end of the frame and pushing it into place.

Use a long pile sleeve for these surfaces.Choosing the right one will help you make your painting project go smoother, so it is important to select the right roller cover for the job. Sheepskin roller makers also take on the fashion industry. When wool and sheepskin start to show up on runways and in boutiques, the price of pelts shoots skyward, and roller manufacturers get priced out of the market. “When sheepskin is in vogue, it’s difficult to get product,” Norton says. “If lambskin is not in fashion, there tends to be a surplus available for paint products.” Another consideration is foam and microfiber roller covers. They work well with most types of paint, enamel, or varnish. Now that you have selected between the knit and woven roller covers, the next step is choosing the right nap height.

Norton says that sheepskin pelts will also vary in quality depending on whether the animal was raised on a range or on a farm. “Range animals tend to have more unevenness in pelts because they have more exposure to the environment,” he says. Lambswool sleeves are more durable than synthetic equivalents. They have a tight weave that sits firmly against the plastic core and maintains its integrity. Foam outers are more likely to fall apart and are often single-use products for this reason. But the long hairs and high paint transfer rate of sheepskin can cause problems too, particularly on smooth walls. Smooth surfaces include those recently plastered (an dry) plasterboard or lining paper. Use a short pile sleeve for these surfaces. A lambswool roller is the best paint roller to use with solvent-based finishes, emulsions or when coating a semi-smooth or rough surface.We refer to surfaces like this to make the selection of the most suitable roller sleeve easier. Below are some examples to help you decide: Otherwise, putting the cover under running water and squeezing out the paint will work. Then, let it completely dry before putting it away. Delamination is a quality issue, Weiss says, adding that GAM rollers will not delaminate. “Some poor-quality sheepskin covers, if they’re not sewn properly and glued onto the core properly, will shrink. If you go take a shower, your skin doesn’t shrink.”

The most important factor in choosing the right roller cover is the sheen of the paint that you are using. Sheepskin Rollers Sheepskin rollers have many fine qualities, but new synthetics — cheaper and more consistent — are nipping at their heels. The amount of paint combined with the thin nature of the fibers means you get smooth, clean results. It also carries the paint to the surface, so you will need to choose the right height for the best results.And the fibers themselves are thinner than a single thread of silk, making them about 1/5 th the diameter of a human hair. Some have also speculated that sheepskin rollers work better than the average roller with low-VOC coatings. The idea is that the long hairs of sheepskin rollers do a superior job of handling the large amount of solids of a typical low-VOC paint. Another reason that makes the fibers on microfiber rollers exceptionally strong is it’s attached to epoxy, which helps to keep them in place for very long. But these days, water-based paints have less water in them, so sheepskin rollers stand up to them, Dentz says. “Paints change.” The lambskin roller doesn't only excel with solvent-based applications. Its exceptional level of absorbency allows it to hold high solid coatings, emulsions and other low VOC finishes.
