Applying Emulsion Using a Roller Applying emulsion using a roller will be quickest way of covering a sizable surface area, although you may need more coats than when painting using a brush because the paint goes on quite thinly with a roller. Roller sleeves can be found in various sizes and textures. Choose #a short#-pile sleeve for any smooth wall surface, and then a shaggy sheepskinstyle sleeve for a more textured surface. The areas the roller cannot reach will need to get finished with a brush. Solid non-drip emulsion, which comes in a tray, can also be applied with a roller. As you apply the roller, the paint liquefies and allows the roller to gather up the correct amount of paint. 1 Pour the emulsion paint into the paint tray reservoir - it should be about a 3rd full. Dip the roller sleeve into the paint and roll it confidently up and down the tray’s ribbed incline to spread the paint evenly. Don’t overload the sleeve or paint will splatter all over the place. 2 Move the roller over the wall surface, using random strokes applied with a lightweight, even pressure. Try not to paint too fast or you’ll create a fine mist of paint spray. Every time the roller is dipped in the paint, move it #to an# adjacent unpainted area and work your way back towards the painted area in overlapping strokes to blend with the wet edges. Using Paint Pads: Paint pads come in different sizes. These are flat and rectangular with closely packed short fibres bonded to a foam backing strip, which makes the pad bendable. Pads are good for painting big areas with liquid paint - the bigger the pad, the faster you cover the surface. They create less spray and mess than rollers, but they do need reloading with paint more often. Use a paint pad tray which includes a built-in ribbed roller on which excess paint will be removed. 1 Pour the paint into the paint pad tray, then draw the pad over the built-in roller to allocate the paint evenly and take away any excess - a paint pad will #give a# patchy finish if it’s loaded unevenly, and will drip if there's a lot of paint on it. 2 Start painting next to a corner and work in strips about four times the width of the pad. Keeping the pad flat on the wall, move it up and down the surface with a mild scrubbing action. Painting Edges - Cutting in Rollers and larger paint pads are excellent for covering whole walls quickly, but they can't reach the whole way to the edges, you will have to finish off these areas with a brush or small paint pad - a process also known as ‘cutting in’. #This can be# done before or after #the main# painting, but you’ll obtain the most uniform finish when you #do it# before #the main# section is painted. 1 Paint four or five overlapping strokes at right angles to the edge to fill the gap between #the edge# #and the# new paint. 2 Painting parallel towards the edge, #go over# the very first brush strokes in an extended sweeping motion. Repeat until the whole edge is painted.

Believe me when I say that I know how hard it can be to perform these tasks that I have written about in this article. I’ve applied these tips to many painting projects over the years but at the beginning when I first started out in the painting trade there was a whole lot to learn. For my training I went to an organization called - painter london - They taught me everything that I do know today.
