How do I clean the roller after use?

Clean the roller thoroughly with appropriate solvents or water depending on the paint type. Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.

While it can be used, this roller is not ideal for smooth surfaces. The extra-long pile is designed for textured surfaces and may not provide the best finish on smooth walls.

What size roller frame do I need?

You will need a 9-inch roller frame to use with the Axus Captain Chunk XXL roller sleeve. It is recommended to use the Axus 9 Inch Roller Frame.

How long will the roller sleeve last?

The lifespan of the roller sleeve depends on the surface, paint type, and care. With proper care and cleaning, the roller sleeve can provide long-lasting performance.

Is it necessary to prime before using the roller?

Priming depends on the surface and the paint you are using. Always follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for surface preparation.

Troubleshooting

Roller is leaving lint on the surface.

Wash the roller thoroughly with cold or tepid water before first use to remove any loose fibers.

Uneven paint coverage.

Ensure the roller is evenly loaded with paint and apply consistent pressure.

Roller is difficult to move across the surface.

Check if the paint is too thick or the surface is too dry. Thin the paint if necessary or apply a primer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: This roller sleeve is designed to fit the Axus 9 Inch Roller Frame. Ensure you have a compatible frame before use.
  2. Preparation: Before using the roller for the first time, wash it in cold or tepid water to remove loose fibers. This prevents them from transferring to the surface during painting.
  3. Attachment: Attach the roller sleeve to your roller frame securely.
  4. Paint Application: Dip the roller into the paint, ensuring it's evenly coated. Apply the paint to the surface, using even strokes to avoid drips and ensure consistent coverage.
  5. Cleaning: After use, clean the roller thoroughly with appropriate solvents or water, depending on the paint type. Remove excess water, stand the roller on its end, and allow it to dry thoroughly (ideally overnight) before storing.

Care:

  • Always clean the roller after each use to prevent paint from drying and damaging the fibers.
  • Store the roller in a clean, dry place to maintain its condition.
