06.01.2022 USING A ROLLER Paint rollers are generally used to apply paint to large flat areas, such as Ceilings and Walls. Choose a short nap roller (11 - 15mm) for smooth plaster surfaces, a medium pile (15 - 18mm) for slightly rougher surfaces or a long nap (18 - 25mm) for Textured surfaces. Rollers can also be used to apply paint to flush doors, and baby Rollers can even be used on Panel Doors, Window sills and other wide pieces of timber or steel.... Standard Rollers leave an orange peel finish as opposed to the smooth finish of a brush. Of course before rolling a surface you will need to use a brush to cut in the edges. It’s also a good idea to cover your floors and furniture, as rollers tend to splash and leave a fine overspray. The correct way to apply paint with a roller is by using overlapping diagonal strokes to spread the paint evenly. Finish with full length strokes (laying off).

02.01.2022 PREPARING SURFACES FOR PAINTING Modern paints have excellent adhesion and covering power, but to get the best from them you must prepare the surface properly. To prepare previously painted woodwork, in good condition, use a fine grit sandpaper to remove any nibs and key the surface for repainting. For woodwork that may be in worse condition use a heavier grit sandpaper to remove flaking areas, then a fine grit to feather off the edges before repainting. Previously painted ce...ilings and walls are best prepared by washing with Sugar Soap or a strong household detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry. Remove areas of flaking, bubbled or blistered paint with a scraper and sand paper. Be sure to feather off the edges or fill the edges, with polyfilla or similiar. Sand then seal the bare plaster areas before repainting. Cracks in the surfaces should be opened up with the edge of a scraper in a v shape. This is to ensure your plastering repair will be effective . Sometimes you may need to double fill as the first layer may shrink. Then you will need to get the sandpaper again! Sand it smooth and seal prior to first coat.
