Applying Emulsion Using a Roller Applying emulsion using a roller is the quickest method of covering a big surface area, although you may require more coats than when painting using a brush because the paint goes on quite thinly using a roller. Roller sleeves can be found in various sizes and textures. Choose #a short#-pile sleeve for any smooth wall surface, and a shaggy sheepskinstyle sleeve for the more textured surface. The parts the roller cannot reach will need to be finished using a brush. Solid non-drip emulsion, which is supplied in a tray, is also applied with a roller. As you apply the roller, the paint liquefies and allows the roller to gather up the correct quantity of paint. 1 Pour the emulsion paint into the paint tray reservoir - it needs to be about a third full. Dip the roller sleeve into the paint and roll it confidently up and down the tray’s ribbed slope to spread the paint evenly. Don’t overload the sleeve or paint will splash far and wide. 2 Move the roller over the wall surface, using random strokes applied with a lightweight, even pressure. Try not to work too fast or you will develop a fine mist of paint spray. Each time the roller is dipped in your 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 numerous sizes. They are flat and rectangular with closely packed short fibres glued with 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 will need reloading with paint more often. Use a paint pad tray which has a built-in ribbed roller on which excess paint can be removed. 1 Pour the paint into the paint pad tray, then draw the pad over the built-in roller to distribute the paint evenly and remove any excess - a paint pad will #give a# patchy finish if it is loaded unevenly, and will drip if there's too much paint on it. 2 Start painting close to a corner and work in strips about 4 times the width of the pad. Keeping the pad flat on the wall, move it up and down the surface with a gentle scrubbing action. Painting Edges - Cutting in Rollers and bigger paint pads are very good for covering whole walls rapidly, but they cannot reach all the way into the edges, you will need to finish off these areas using a brush or small paint pad - a process sometimes called ‘cutting in’. #This can be# done before or after #the main# painting, but you will probably get the most uniform finish when you #do it# before #the main# area is painted. 1 Paint four or five overlapping strokes at right angles to your edge to fill the gap between #the edge# #and the# fresh paint. 2 Painting parallel towards the edge, #go over# the initial 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 may be to do these tasks that I’ve written about in this article. I’ve carried out these tips to many painting projects through the years but at the beginning when I first began in the painting trade #there was# a good deal to learn. For my training I went to a company called - painter london - They taught me everything that I do know today.
