Applying Emulsion With a Roller Applying emulsion with a roller is the quickest method of covering a large surface area, although you may need more coats than when painting using a brush since the paint goes on quite thinly with a roller. Roller sleeves can be found in a variety of sizes and textures. Choose #a short#-pile sleeve for the smooth wall surface, and then a shaggy sheepskinstyle sleeve for any more textured surface. The areas 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 using a roller. As you apply the roller, the paint liquefies and allows the roller to gather up the right amount of paint. 1 Pour the emulsion paint into the paint tray reservoir - it ought to be about a third full. Dip the roller sleeve into the paint and roll it firmly up and down the tray’s ribbed slant 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 go too fast or you will probably produce 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 in 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 flexible. Pads are good for painting large 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 loading with paint more often. Use a paint pad tray that has 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 is loaded unequally, and will 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 your pad. Keeping the pad flat to 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 swiftly, but they can not reach all the way into your edges, you will need to complete these areas using 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 will 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 to the edge, #go over# the first brush strokes in a long sweeping motion. Repeat until the entire edge is painted.

Believe me when I say that I know how hard it can be to carry out 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 much to learn. For my training I went to a firm called - painter london - They taught me everything that I know today.
