What happens here

The creator proceeds to apply the oil-based 'Cover Stain Primer' to the wall using the 3/4 inch nap roller attached to a paint roller extension pole. He demonstrates a smooth, even application, showing how the primer immediately provides superior coverage and a much more uniform finish compared to the previous water-based paint applied with a 3/8 inch nap roller. The thicker nap is visibly effective at filling the texture and evening out the surface.

Goal: Apply the primer evenly to the wall to cover imperfections and create a consistent surface.

Tools and materials

  • 3/4 inch nap roller — Applying the primer
  • Paint roller extension pole — Allowing for easier reach and consistent pressure when painting large wall areas
  • Paint tray — Holding the primer and allowing the roller to be loaded evenly
  • Oil-based 'Cover Stain Primer' Zinsser — The base coat for improved coverage and filling

What they say

Hide

roller is going to hopefully get into every every single one of these pores and hopefully fill them up the best that it can. Look at the difference in this oil-based Cover Stain with a 3/4-in nap versus that water-based with a 3/8-in nap nap that I used to begin with. This is just primer and it already looks 10 times better. Anyways, I got to watch paint dry.
