Pros and Cons - 9-Inch vs 18-Inch Roller

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter delves into the practical drawbacks of using an 18-inch roller for smaller painting tasks. He explains that a larger roller requires approximately twice as long to clean compared to a 9-inch roller. Additionally, he notes that more paint is absorbed and effectively 'lost' within the larger roller cover, leading to more waste. The associated larger paint pan also contributes to increased effort in cleaning, making it an inefficient choice for projects limited to one or two bedrooms.

Goal: Understand the inefficiencies and logistical challenges of using large paint rollers for small projects.

know all the time now a 9-in roller if you just look at the two rollers when you're done painting you know at the end of the day this is going to take twice as long to clean um there's twice as much paint in here um you're going to lose a certain amount of paint in your roller so you're going to be losing more paint in the in the roller itself and it's going to take longer to clean and if you're just doing you know one bedroom you why create more work for yourself the pan itself there's a lot more surface area in the pan so um you're going to be emptying the paint out and you're going to be scraping that pan out so you got a larger pan that you're going to be be losing up once again paint in the 18-in pan versus a 9in pan just simpler easier um to use the N the 9in pan is easier to manipulate and move around the room versus an 18inch pan also you can't slide it you got to pick it up and carry
