When you said, "I glued the SHIT out of it" that took me out!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
I've been painting for years and never thought it mattered but I've learned something new
I only use lambswool rollers. They provide the best finish hands down. You can use 1/2 lambswool and the finish is better than a standard 3/8” cover. They hold twice as much paint as a 1/2” no wool roller cover and they take 1/2 of the time to clean. Microfiber is great but lambswool is better and if you can get your hands on a 3/8” lambswool that is the best, smoothest finish you will get and they last way, way longer than microfiber There is a reason why they are 3x the cost.
Which one would be best for wall with distamper paint. Do we need to scrap the paint and apply primer before painting. Which roller to use
Thank you for sharing this information. My walls will never have fibres on them again!
thanks for watching! please share the video

Gluing that crap out of that paneling has me here today…. My wife heard this right next to me, we laughed hard 😂 as we just finished 6 days worth of paneling removal. Never ever ever ever ever again.. great video 👍🏽
yeah I have some paneling that I want to remove and I am sure it is glued. I will be doing a lot of skim coating afterwards
Dang that was a really helpful video.

I want to know how can we measurement of long hair. Nab measurement?
Comete information about paint roller
I used a woven 1/4" roller to prime my walls and it worked great. Less drippy than a 3/8" roller. The 1/4" one you showed was real thin looking.
Yes the 1/4 is less drippy but it also needs to be dipped more often and potentially does not cover as well. It comes down to personal preference.
My contractor used 1/2" on my new drywall. I hate it. It put so much texture on the walls- they look like they've been painted over so many times- like they're 50 years old. I'm so disappointed. Is there a way to fix this?
@@tcrwdr8209I did have walls that were 60 yrs +. Needed to remove and replace one wall with drywall. Obviously 2 different wall surfaces. Sanded older surfaces with with mechanical sander w/120, then 220. Fortunately it was a small bathroom and needed a lot of patience but the effort was worth it. Primed with 1/4 nap, 2 coats. Forgot to mention I tried to skim coat with topcoat mud but was very difficult due to the plaster wall having an uneven surface. Most of the sanded mud ended up on the floor.
@@tcrwdr8209 If you don't want texture skip the rollers and brushes and get it sprayed. Otherwise you may make demands but often painters have strong preferences and they won't like a sticky client who's so extreme.
You didn't say what rollers go with what paint and surface. E.g what rollers is good for metal surfaces?
Thank you for this video. But question.. will the microfiber give me orange peel? I'm . painting wood floors and need to know if i should stick with foam or get microfiber. I already used the foam roller for 1st coat using glossy latex paint but don't know if i shpuld switch to microfiber. It doesn't look glossy the way i imagined even though its the 1st coat and hasn't dried yet. But still.. ughh i should've done more research before i started this project. I know! Lol will it be okay if i did the 2nd coat with the microfiber?
microfiber will give an orange peal look
Thank you
thanks for watching. please share the video
Can you also make a video on brushes. Thanks
yes... absolutely
Thanks really handy to know 🙏
Thanks for watching Sharon
Agreed cheapest causes you more in thr long run
I just got a previously painted white wood dresser. It looks old so I want to repaint it. I'm desperately trying to find out how to paint over it, do I sand? Do I just use primer? Should I use foam roller for the modern look I want? I can't find the answers anywhere
Yea just scrape off any loose paint chips and sand it down.. shouldn’t need to primer, just use a good quality paint and either a decent brush or foam roller
Very helpful
thank you for watching
A good rule of thumb I’ve started using is the cheaper the roller the more paint it throws
Could i use a 3/16 or 1/4 nap on wood paneling. Its as smooth as a babies bottom.
sure you can try it
I’m going to buy the microfiber roller. Thank you
thank you for watching...
Well I glued the shit out of it so ... 😂😂 made me lol
im dying at the wood paneling 🤣
Many people are painting over old paneling
Hi what’s the best one for a smooth finish on MDF wood I’m also using acrylic paints
Foam roller
But you never mentioned the nap size on the Last 4 rollers
What’s the best one for fiberglass
I would probably spray fiberglass if it is a smooth surface like a boat
Haha ‘ glued the shit out of it’……. I’m always the one who is the one who comes later and has to remove such things.
Which one do I use to have smooth no texture walls. I hate texture
maybe try a foam roller. thanks for watching....please share the video for me. Thx
They should combine the two together, that would probably work great
thanks for watching..
I wanted smoothest surface possible because walls were skim coated and I sanded them to a perfect flat surface. Then I used sponge roller and ruined all my work. Paint was bubbling!
So far I've never had luck with foam as well. I believe you need to do very thin coats with them and they're better with oil based paints I believe. Go with a 1/4" next time. There's also velour and mohair, although those are not often used on walls. In addition, use a paint that levels out nicely. Or you can add a paint thinner but that does make it more difficult to apply because the paint looses some of its hang quality and you are more susceptible to drips. Lastly, don't overwork the paint. Hope everything worked out.
What roller for interior doors works best?
Roll it with a fine snap roller then brush it out.
I'm just here to say the roller at 2:30 looks like the gun barrel at the opening of a James Bond movie.
What paint roller can you paint a vehicle with without no orange peel, lint free and no streaks. I used a foam roller before but it wasn't lint free but didn't end up painting my vehicle with it. I saw a video of someone using a brush on TH-cam too painting a vehicle it turned out good but never saw a product using a roller on a vehicle that doesn't have any orange peel when you painting with the roller and paint only without using mineral spirits or other stuff to thin the paint. I am getting a turbine sprayer soon to use for when I paint a vehicle but one day would wanna have a bigger air compressor for using sanders and other tools that need more air when using on a air compressor. Have 26 gallon air compressor and the air goes away fast that is a reason I purchased a turbine sprayer because need more air without getting a air compressor for painting a vehicle it should be coming in next week or two.
You aren't looking for a roller finish you're looking for a spray finish.
3:25 This is the roller you would use if you wanted to do that to yourself 😂
When using a new roller make sure you wash it or get a wet rag and rub the s*** out of it to avoid having those little hairs
Best cheap and good fiber wollen rollers : DOLLAR TREE !!!!!!! $1.25 each and just as good as a Purdy $7.00 roller. I kid you not. Comes in 3/8 and 3/4 nap. I buy them by the basket full.
Good to know. I bought some the other day to try. I was a little hesitant about using it. I will be trying it on a wall I'm painting this week. Thanks.
I’m watching this cuz i just primed my bedroom but it looks like shit, even after 2 coats. The plastering work i did is still showing threw. Even tho i sanded it well. So i thought I’d watch a video about rollers to see if thats the problem. Looks like ill need to pick up thicker rollers to do the final coat. Especially for my ceiling that has texture. What im using now looks like the roller at 7:08 which i thought would have done a better job. Maybe its the actual primer i bought 🤷🏻. I’m just praying the final coat looks a hell of a lot better then this primer
I am having the same issue. My roller cover isn’t matching the previous one used. Don’t do the final coat it won’t look any better. I think the people prior used a very cheap roller cover and it creates that stipple effect.
Water based primers don't cover well. 2 coats should be fine to get a whiter result. Don't worry how it looks because it's just primer, you will paint over it and will come out fine.
Piece of advice, its NOT worth "washing" and reusing rollers Whether the cheap or the more expensive rollers, if you're painting anyones but your own house. Or if you really care about the quality of the paint job, an final result.
You're better off buying a plastic roller preserver container or just wrapping the roller up in plastic ( plastic bag etc ), with maybe a small damp rag and/or paper towel.
Which if wrapped well or with a little damp towelette, can stay good an entire week. An easily until an entire paint job is completed. Small or big rollers, especially if you're "using it" every other day or so and rewrapping it well with fresh paint.
Although DON'T wrap it up while it's drenched with paint, wrap it up "after you use" and apply whatever paint has been soaked into it.
beautiful explanation JazakAllah Khair🙌👍
What happens when you wash them?
This is non sense reusing roller covers has no final effect on quality, actually new ones shed and get stuff in the paint quite often.
I find foam roller are really bad for bubbling the finish.
When your wife ask to remove something that was her idea . I understand that
It’s actually motor home;
bEST ROLLER FOR SMOOTH COUNTERTOP FOR PAINT
i would spray a countertop
@@flannelguydiy6458 Can spray or spray gun?
This is how Nintendo got the idea of making a roller
don't buy single roller sleeves ,,, buy the pack of 3 and save the extra ones for the next job = a lot cheaper !
The shorter the nap the finer the finish.
thanks for watching
Those rollers with the "yarn" are the worst for anything other than a rough job. People use these of walls inside a house and its absolute garbage. I dont know how they dont see it, they just like it because it holds a lot paint but that doesnt mean shit. Rule I go by, is never buy anything with a stripe on it, or anything cheap.
Why am I watching this after I painted :(
because it is not the last time that you will paint
1/4 nor for paint.... is where i ended thw video... bro look up high end manhattan 3/16 high gloss walls 🤣🤣🤣😅🤣🤣 1/4 not for paint..
