What happens here

The presenter points out another design flaw related to the textured 'X' pattern on the tray's loading ramp. He explains that these raised 'X' shapes, intended to help load paint onto the roller, are too deep or tall. As the roller moves across them, they cause paint to flick out of the tray in both forward and backward directions, creating splatter and further mess.

Goal: Identify that the loading grid causes paint to flick out of the tray.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Roller — Demonstrating the paint flicking issue
  • Repaint Tray Repaint Tray — The tray featuring the 'X' pattern being assessed
  • Paint — To be loaded with the roller to show flicking
