Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Purdy Altitude sleeve, ensure you are using it with a 14-inch roller frame.
- Pre-wetting: Before your first use, briefly dampen the roller with water (for latex) or mineral spirits (for oil) and spin it out to remove loose fibers.
- Loading: Roll through the deep end of the paint tray several times until the nap is fully saturated but not dripping.
- Application: Apply with light to medium pressure; do not press too hard, as the sleeve is designed to deliver paint efficiently on its own.
- Cleaning: For latex paints, wash immediately with warm, soapy water until the water runs clear. For oil-based paints, use appropriate solvents. Always stand the roller on its end or hang it to dry to prevent the nap from crushing.
