Quality rollers tend to be thicker and fluffier for
greater paint capacity and less dripping and spattering.
They also apply the paint thicker and smoother. A higher
quality roller will not crack, holds its shape better, does
not shed fibres, and is reusable.
For the smoothest application of
solvent-based coatings use quality lamb's wool and natural
mohair rollers. Synthetic nap rollers are appropriate for
water-based paints and some are suitable for solvent-based
products. Nap length is also an important consideration.
As a rule, short nap rollers from 6mm to 9mm are best for
smooth surfaces and long nap rollers from 12mm to 25mm are
used for rough masonry.
