Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Hamilton Prestige 15" Heavy-Duty Paint Tray requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply place it on a stable, level surface at your work area, ensuring the wide base provides maximum support.
Compatibility:
- Rollers: Designed to work optimally with 15" roller sleeves. Adapters or smaller rollers may not fit the grid as intended.
- Paint Types: Compatible with all standard interior and exterior paints, including water-based emulsions, gloss, masonry paints, and heavier coatings. For oil-based paints, ensure proper cleaning immediately after use to prevent hardening.
Care and Maintenance:
- Water-Based Paints: Clean thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent immediately after use. Use a brush or cloth to remove paint residue from the reservoir and roller grid. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Oil-Based Paints: Scrape away excess paint with a putty knife. Use a suitable solvent (e.g., white spirit) and a brush to clean the tray. Rinse with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Always ensure adequate ventilation when using solvents.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing heavy objects on top of the tray to prevent deformation.
