Paint rollers are very valuable pieces of painting equipment that are necessary for completing large painting jobs. One task that is necessary when using paint rollers and frames is to remove the roller cover and replace it with a new one after painting sessions are completed. It is a relatively easy task but a necessary one to ensure good painting results. At Pro Roller Company, Inc., we are your source for paint rollers, including Dripless – Lint Free paint rollers, solvent resistant paint roller options, and other painting accessories that get the job done right.
Paint rollers typically include a rod or spindle at the center that is connected to a handle. Regardless of the specific design of your roller, removing the roller and replacing it with a new one is a simple process. These rollers are offered in various styles and textures to match any painting effect you want to apply to a surface.
Soak and Clean the Roller
The first step is to soak and clean the roller by using warm water and paint remover in a large bucket. Give the roller time to dry. This should be done immediately after final use to prevent paint from leaking onto the roller frame. A dried-up roller, whether a solvent resistant paint roller or Dripless paint roller, will also make it more difficult to remove from the frame.
Remove the Old Roller Cover
Roller covers slide over the top of the cage. The cylinders are also removable. The process to remove the old roller cover involves prying away the cover from the cage by hand. It should take a small amount of effort to pull the cover away from the cage. If the old frame is worn out, you can change it along with a brand new cover.
Install the New Roller Cover
Open the new roller cover and slide it over the cage, making sure it fits snugly.
