- Choosing the right NAP
- Shed-resistant and high density for todays paints: flat, eggshell, satin, semigloss, gloss, enamels, primers, urethanes, epoxies. HydroFlow technology provides controlled release to improve paint flow
- For smoother lint-free results with all paints, use a woven roller fabricespecially with higher-sheen coatings. For greater pickup and release (faster application), try a knitted fabric when using flats or eggshell paints. A specialty cover would be high production covers or covers designed for specific products or surfaces. Choosing the right Nap: Generally, the smoother the surface the shorter the nap.
– 3/16 or 1/4 nap: Untextured plaster, smooth wood, drywall, wallboard, metal
–3/8 or 1/2″ nap: Most walls and ceilings. Lightly textured drywall or wood paneling.
– 3/4″ or 1 nap: Textured plaster or stucco. Siding, decks, concrete block.
– 1or 1 nap: Heavily textured plaster or stucco. Rough wood, brick or corrugated metal.
