What happens here

The final tip for preparing your walls is to use the proper roller when applying your base coat. For decorative finishes, it is critical to use a high-quality, lint-free woven roller, specifically one with a 3/8-inch nap. Cheap rollers tend to leave lint on the walls and create a heavy stipple (texture), both of which will create unwanted imperfections in your smooth decorative finish. A premium woven roller, like the Woven-Pro 3/8-inch lint-free roller, ensures even paint application and a smooth, consistent base that is essential for the quality of your final decorative coat.

Goal: Apply a smooth, lint-free base coat to the walls.
