How to Choose the Right Paint Roller
Introduction
Step1Choose a handle made of steel and equipped with a plastic grip that is threaded to accommodate an extension pole.
Step2
Be sure the cage allows for easy roller cover replacement.
Step3
Check to be sure roller cover will stay in place on the cage and will not slide off.
Step4
If you'll be using oil-based paint, choose a roller cover made from natural fibers, such as sheepskin, lamb's wool, or mohair. You can also use a synthetic-fiber roller cover.
Step5
If you'll be using water-based (latex) paint, use a cover made of synthetic fibers.
Step6
Choose a roller cover with dense fibers. For fiber length, the rule to remember is the smoother the surface, the shorter the fiber length should be.
Title: How to Choose the Right Paintbrush
Introduction:Step 1
Choose from Chinese bristles (hog's hair brush), ox-hair brush or a nylon/polyester blend if using oil-based paint. Natural bristles are your best option because they hold oil-based paint better than synthetic brushes.
Step 2
Choose from nylon bristles or a nylon/polyester blend if using latex (water-based) paint.
Step 3
Use a large, flat brush (non-angled) for fast application when cutting in (painting carefully up to the edge of) walls and corners.
Step 4
Use angled brushes for trims and moldings. Brush angles generally range from 1 inch to 3 1/2 inches. Painters recommend the 2 1/2 inch angled brush.
Step 5
Select the most comfortable handle, taking into consideration the amount of time you will be holding the brush. When choosing between fat and skinny handles, hold the brush in your hand as you would when painting, to get a good feel for what is comfortable for you.
