How to use

How to use patterned paint rollers

  1. Preparation of materials
Prepare everything you need from the material: a decorative roller, an applicator with a sponge, paint, a paint tray, paper, or some other surface on which you will test the roller before painting the desired surface.

2. Prepare the substrate
If necessary, or as desired, paint the substrate or wall in the desired color and allow it to dry well.
3. Soaking the sponge
Place the sponge on the applicator, then pour the desired color into the bowl. Soak the sponge evenly with paint, and only then put a decorative roller.
4. Trial print
Before decorating the desired surface, it is best to make a test print in order to transfer it better to the decorative roller. Therefore, if you are not sure, you will have the opportunity to practice before the very beginning. Make sure you turn the decorative roller well.

5. Painting
Pull the decorative roller from top to bottom with even pressure. The next row also without unnecessary separation. The rollers are always used at the same point or alternately to achieve a uniform impression. Some rollers require fitting, in which case you start each row alternately. When it comes to textile dyeing, the surface you are working on must be taut and flat.

6. Soak the sponge again
Depending on the painting surface, e.g., wall, the sponge must be re-soaked with paint after 1-3 rounds (depending on the design of the roller) by removing the decorative roller, re-soaking the sponge with paint, and then returning the roller.
7. Clean the roller
Wash the roller and sponge immediately after use under lukewarm water and with a soft brush to prevent the roller from drying out. Do not use thinner.
