Applying Emulsion With a Roller Applying emulsion with a roller will be 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 any more textured surface. The parts the roller cannot reach will have to get finished with a brush. Solid non-drip emulsion, which comes in a tray, is also applied using a roller. While you apply the roller, the paint liquefies and allows the roller to pick up the correct amount of paint. 1 Pour the emulsion paint into the paint tray reservoir - it should be about a third 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. Do not overload the sleeve or paint will splatter everywhere. 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 produce a fine mist of paint spray. On every occasion the roller is dipped in the paint, move it #to an# adjacent unpainted area and work your way back to the painted area in overlapping strokes to blend in the wet edges. Using Paint Pads: Paint pads come in numerous sizes. These are flat and rectangular with closely packed short fibres bonded with a foam backing strip, which makes the pad bendy. Pads are good for painting large areas with liquid paint - the larger the pad, the faster you cover the surface. They make less spray and mess than rollers, but they will need reloading with paint more frequently. Use a paint pad tray with 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 allocate the paint evenly and remove any excess - a paint pad will #give a# patchy finish if it’s loaded unevenly, and can drip if there is a lot of paint on it. 2 Start painting near 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 delicate scrubbing action. Painting Edges - Cutting in Rollers and bigger paint pads are very good for covering whole walls swiftly, but they cannot reach all the way to the edges, you will have to finish off these areas using a brush or small paint pad - a process often referred to as ‘cutting in’. #This can be# done before or after #the main# painting, but you’ll get the most uniform finish when you #do it# before #the main# section is painted. 1 Paint four or five overlapping strokes at right angles towards 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.
