What happens here

Before using an inner feed roller, it's crucial to de-lint the roller cover to prevent loose fibers from transferring to the painted surface. To do this, wrap painter's tape (preferably a high-adhesion type like FrogTape ProGrade Orange) around the entire surface of the roller cover. Apply firm pressure as you wrap to ensure the tape picks up all loose lint. Once wrapped, slowly unwrap the tape, observing how it removes the lint generated during the manufacturing process of the perforated roller cover. This step ensures a clean, smooth finish and prevents paint contamination.

Goal: Remove loose lint from the roller cover to prevent contamination of the painted surface.
