This video really helped me complete a project. Took your advice and purchased a 9", 1/4" nap woven. I also purchased a new Wooster Sherlock 9" roller frame. Best roller frame I've ever owned. My black closet doors look great! Thank you.

That first response back was from my brother (Josh). I’m glad the video helped! The Wooster Pro-Doo Z 1/2 are my favorites. That’s pretty much all we use at the moment. You can get them at Austin Briggs in Chalfont or Home Depot

Hey! Thanks a lot! WOVEN!! Got the specs now.

All we use it micro fiber and it doesn't shed. Are you prepping them properly by wetting them and spinning them out?

@SuperVassarBrothers

Жыл бұрын

We did when we were using them, but I found it annoying to have to have to prep them every time. I don't have to do any prep work with the Pro-Doo Z's and I like the quality of the finish. That's just my personal preference. There's nothing wrong with using the micro fiber ones as long as you're prepping them like you described.

question: I recently painted a mural and didn’t do my research. I used flat paint for all of it and I’m now realizing it has 0 durability. What can I do to seal the paint??

@SuperVassarBrothers

2 жыл бұрын

I don't have a lot of experience sealing in something like that, but a lot of guys like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B000BZYYH4?tag=woodworkingclarity-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 Its a Polycrylic sealer from minwax. I'd recommend using a tighter nap roller like a 1/4 inch to apply it. You also might want to do a test spot to see if you like how it looks before you put it over your entire mural. Again, I don't have much experience sealing in latex. Good luck!

What type of roller would I use for polyurethane on wood floors, I’m looking at 9” foam.

@SuperVassarBrothers

2 ай бұрын

I'd go with a foam roller or a lamb's wool that's got a pretty tight nap.

I have someone wanting to use semi gloss wall paint, would the 1/2” nap still be ok to use?

@SuperVassarBrothers

Жыл бұрын

The 1/2” would work but you may want to drop down to a 3/8”. You’ll be getting good spread with the semi-gloss and sometimes that sheen looks a bit better with a tighter nap for application.

I plan on using BIN primer on kitchen cabinets. Which roller do you recommend? Someone suggested foam since BIN is so thin and runny.

We always use what we have stocked in the trucks which is usually a Wooster pro-doo-z 1/2inch and that works fine. Whatever roller you use is going to get smoked. The key to not making a big mess in my experience, is to not press overly hard on the roller when you’re applying the product.

What kind of roller should I use when I apply 'liquid rubber' on concrete surface terrace old 15 years (rough surface)?

@SuperVassarBrothers

Sorry Bravo, we haven't used that product before. To figure it out I would, check on the side of the can/bucket, ask an employee or manager from where you buy it, or call the actual company liquid rubber and they probably could help you out. Good luck!

Still can't decide whether to use a short or medium pile for wall and ceilings... There's no texture on either but we do want a smooth finish. That being said, I don't want to be dipping every 5 seconds!

@SuperVassarBrothers

Wooster Pro-doo-z FTP in either 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch. 3/8s will be a little smoother but you’ll be dipping a bit more.

I wish I would've watched this 4hrs ago.. First cover shed like crazy so switched to a thinner nap and the coat was way too light. Guess this ones getting a 2nd or third coat with the correct cover

Other than the cost, why don't you use lambskin? With latex paints, I have never found ANY synthetic roller that comes even close to lambskin.

@SuperVassarBrothers

I’m not sure what you mean by “coming close”. For our applications and the paints we use the Wooster Pro-Doo Z FTPs have been working well and give us the finish quality that we and our clients are looking for.

@@SuperVassarBrothers, I meant a roller that comes close to performance in...well, pretty much everything I have ever tried (Other than obvious throw-away rollers, such as for oil-bases). Other than the price (at least here in Arizona, at the pro paint suppliers I use - Dunn Edwards and Sherwin Williams), I have tested most if not all provided roller cover materials, and none performs the combination (Note, I place emphasis on "combination", not specialized rollers) of smoothness, paint hold/release, easiness of fuzz-cleaning, easiness of cleaning (Very important!), and personal preference to me, how thick the nap can get. The vast majority of my work is done with a minimum of 1" nap, most with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. Only when I paint new doors and cabinets I go below that, and the lambskin 3/4 and 1/2 give me the most even finish and close to the smoothest than the others. In the west coast we don't have as smooth finish walls and ceilings as in the midwest and northwest, so texture from roller is not a big consideration, and in addition, we have have relatively larger rooms which need rollers that hold more paint. Maybe it is a personal technique of mine, but nothing bugs me as much as rollers that you have to fight them to release the paint, and none I have tried do that as well as lambskin. I don't know, maybe I missed something over the years, maybe I am biased because I learned wrong from the very beginning back in the '80's, or maybe materials have improved the past five years that I haven't tried anything new.

Please stop referring to the 4” as a “little fella” 🥴
