Applying Emulsion Using 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 with a roller. Roller sleeves can be found in many different sizes and textures. Choose #a short#-pile sleeve for a smooth wall surface, and a shaggy sheepskinstyle sleeve for any 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 pick 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 firmly up and down the tray’s ribbed incline to spread the paint evenly. Do not overload the sleeve or paint will splatter far and wide. 2 Move the roller over the wall surface, using random strokes applied with a light, even pressure. Try not to paint too fast or you will probably 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 to your painted area in overlapping strokes to blend with the wet edges. Using Paint Pads: Paint pads come in numerous sizes. These are flat and rectangular with closely packed short fibres glued 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 loading with paint more often. Use a paint pad tray with 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 distribute the paint evenly and remove any excess - a paint pad will #give a# patchy finish if it’s loaded unevenly, and will drip if there is excessive 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 gentle scrubbing action. Painting Edges - Cutting in Rollers and bigger paint pads are very good for covering whole walls quickly, but they can't reach the whole way into the edges, you will need to complete these areas with 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 will probably obtain the most uniform finish if you #do it# before #the main# section 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 a long sweeping motion. Repeat until the entire edge is painted.

Believe me when I say that I understand how hard it can be to do these tasks that I have written about in this article. I’ve applied these tips to many painting projects through the years but in the beginning when I first started off in the painting trade #there was# a great deal to learn. For my training I went to a firm called - painter london - They taught me everything that I do know today.
