Masking to Spray on Stucco? Painting a Commercial Building Solo with an Inner Fed Roller!

What happens here

Before using an inner-feed roller for painting, it is crucial to 'de-lint' it. This is done by wrapping masking tape around the roller and then unwrapping it to remove any loose fibers or lint that resulted from the manufacturing process. These loose lints, especially from perforated inner-feed rollers, could otherwise transfer to the painted surface, particularly noticeable on smooth walls, though less so on textured stucco. This preparation ensures a cleaner finish and reduces the need for touch-ups.

Goal: Prepare the inner-feed roller to prevent lint transfer to the painted surface.

set up now one thing uh when it comes to using an inner feed roller is um that you need to actually pre-clean or de-lent your inner feed roller first or it's gonna leave a lot of lance on a stucco you're not gonna see all the lengths on these things but on a wall you would so we're gonna get this thing de-linted and uh go from there i'm gonna just de-lint this thing here you know real quick so all you got to do is just wrap some tape around this and this will pull off any loose lens i'm using a three-quarter inch nap now i got to do is just unwrap it and you'll see all the loose lints coming off of it so there's quite a few and just the manufacturing process of perforating all the holes inside these rollers you know create a lot of loose lints all that stuff would end up on your wall if you didn't de-lint it you could also pre-clean it but on stucco you're really not going to see that but it's still a good practice to delint it
