Some paint rollers look the same in appearance, but in fact, they are different. paint rollers are made of different bristles, so the paint they apply to is also different. Sponge paint rollers are not suitable for painting ordinary latex paint, because bubbles will be generated, which will make the painted wall appear orange peel effect. Sponge paint rollers are suitable for applying high gloss paint. paint rollers made of polyester fiber are suitable for latex, acrylic or oil-based paint. Brush rollers made of mohair are suitable for varnish or varnish. So you need to choose paint rollers according to your paint, and you can't buy paint rollers arbitrarily.

2. Use paint rollers correctly

In fact, brush rollers are not able to paint immediately. Before paint rollers start to paint the wall, they need to be soaked in water. Because paint rollers are not dry for a long time, it is difficult to achieve the initial painting effect. At the same time, by soaking, the floating hair on the surface of brush rollers can be removed without affecting the brushing effect. After the brush rollers are soaked, shake off the water and roll off the excess liquid on the waste paper to get the paint. Do not directly soak brush rollers in the paint bucket, which will easily cause waste of paint. The correct way is to immerse half of the paint rollers in the paint, and then let the paint rollers roll back and forth on the pallet screed plate a few times so that the painting tools can absorb the paint evenly. The painting sequence of paint rollers is from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, the whole showing is the path of W. Please remember that you can't use paint rollers to brush it several times in one place, as this will cause uneven painting. If you are painting latex paint, you can put a layer of plaster on the wall first, which will make the wall smooth and also give you a better painting effect.

If your paint rollers are made of sponges, they are disposable, so there is no need to clean them. But painting tools of other materials need to be cleaned in time. First, you need to scrape off the excess paint, and then rinse off the paint of the painting tools with running warm water. If you encounter residual paint that cannot be washed off by water, you can rub the bristles with your hands. Finally, put the paint rollers in a cool place to dry.
