Pre-wetting Paint Rollers. Painting Tips Rolling Walls.

What happens here

Repeat the exact same pre-wetting and cleaning process for any larger 9-inch paint roller covers you plan to use. Secure the 9-inch nap onto its appropriate roller frame. Place the bucket on the ground, then turn on the garden hose with the spray nozzle. Direct the strong water stream at the large roller cover while spinning it rapidly inside the bucket. Continue to spray and spin until no more loose fibers are observed. This quick wet and clean method ensures both your small and large roller covers are ready for painting, providing a smoother finish and making your post-painting cleanup much simpler.

Goal: Remove loose fibers from a large paint roller cover.
