Arroworthy Classic Microfiber Paint Roller Refill - Short Pile - 9" (1-3/4")

The Arroworthy Classic Microfiber Roller Sleeve with a 1/4" nap is best suited for semi-smooth surfaces like drywall, plaster, finished wood, and primed metal.

Yes, this roller sleeve is designed to be compatible with both water-based (latex, acrylic) and oil-based (alkyd) paints.

For water-based paints, rinse with warm water until clean and air dry. For oil-based paints, use the appropriate solvent to remove paint, then wash with soap and water, and air dry.

This specific Arroworthy Classic Microfiber Roller Sleeve is 9 inches long.

Shed resistant means the material is less likely to leave small fibers or lint on the painted surface, resulting in a cleaner, smoother finish.

After cleaning and drying, store the roller sleeve in a clean, dry place. For oil-based paints, storing it in a sealed plastic bag can help retain its softness.

The nap length for this particular roller sleeve is 1/4 inch.

Ensure the roller sleeve is fully saturated with paint and avoid overworking the paint. If shedding persists, clean the roller thoroughly and try another sleeve. For new rollers, a quick brush before use can remove loose fibers.

Make sure the roller is evenly loaded with paint. Apply consistent pressure while rolling. Check that the roller sleeve is appropriate for the surface texture.

This may occur if the roller was not cleaned properly after use with oil-based paints or solvents. Discard the damaged sleeve and replace it with a new one.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Check that the paint is compatible with the roller and surface. If using a new surface, ensure it has been primed.
