Product Information

Full details

The Lynwood Paint Roller & Tray (RT902) is an essential tool for DIY decorators and homeowners looking for consistent coverage when applying emulsion or undercoat to walls and ceilings. This 9-inch simulated sheepskin set is specifically optimized for water-based paints on semi-rough to rough surfaces, making it an excellent choice for textured plaster or masonry. While it delivers a professional finish on these specific textures, it may not be the ideal choice for high-gloss enamels or extremely smooth, glass-like surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this roller with oil-based paints?

This roller is specifically optimized for water-based emulsions and undercoats. Oil-based paints may damage the synthetic fibers.

Is the roller frame reusable?

Yes, the 9-inch cage frame is designed to be sturdy and can be reused with compatible standard 9-inch sleeves.

How do I know if my wall is 'semi-rough'?

Semi-rough surfaces include standard interior plaster, textured wallpapers, or slightly uneven brickwork that is intended to be painted.

Should I wash the roller before painting?

It is good practice to rinse the roller to remove dust and ensure the nap is ready to absorb paint evenly.

Will this work on ceilings?

Yes, the 9-inch width is ideal for ceilings, provided you use an extension pole (not included) for reach.

What is the best way to store the sleeve after cleaning?

Ensure it is completely dry by standing it vertically, then store it in a dust-free bag.

Troubleshooting

Roller is leaving lint on the wall

Use a piece of masking tape or a lint roller on the sleeve before your first paint coat to remove loose factory fibers.

Paint is splashing during application

You are likely applying too much pressure or moving the roller too quickly. Use slow, controlled strokes and ensure the roller is not oversaturated.

Streaky coverage

Ensure you are using the 'W' pattern technique to distribute paint before smoothing it out, and ensure the roller is sufficiently loaded with paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient coverage for walls and ceilings
  • Synthetic sheepskin holds more paint for fewer refills
  • Designed specifically to tackle semi-rough textured surfaces
  • Durable construction for multiple painting sessions
  • Perfectly paired tray included in the set

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-gloss finish paints
  • May leave light stippling on perfectly smooth surfaces
  • Synthetic material requires thorough cleaning to maintain longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before the first use, it is recommended to dampen the roller slightly with water if using emulsion paint, or use a piece of masking tape to remove any loose factory lint from the sleeve.

Compatibility: This set is specifically for use with water-based products. Avoid using this roller with aggressive solvent-based or oil-based paints, as they may degrade the synthetic fibers.

Care: After use, rinse the roller sleeve under warm running water until the water runs clear. Use a mild soap to remove trapped emulsion from the base of the pile. Stand the roller upright on its end to air dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place to prevent the handle or cage from rusting.
