What happens here
After initial loading, apply the primer by rolling in smooth, continuous up-and-down motions. Reload your roller after approximately one pass or every 9-inch section to ensure consistent coverage. Pay attention to the direction your roller is facing; apply pressure in the direction the roller is facing to keep the cover securely on the frame and prevent it from 'walking off'. When approaching the top and bottom edges of the wall, significantly reduce pressure to avoid creating heavy paint spots that can lead to drips or runs. Continue this technique across the wall, laying out the paint from top to bottom.
Goal: Apply primer with even strokes, loading the roller frequently and adjusting pressure to avoid heavy spots or streaks, especially at the top and bottom of the wall.
