Roll Lightly

Posted by Terry Muller on Mar 1st 2018

While rolling out ceilings, a few things to remember. Keep the room temperature low, 60ish while painting to allow the paint to dry slowly, preventing many of the roller marks left behind form the paint drying too quick. Also roll with very little pressure, especially when painting those high ceilings using an extension handle attached to the roller frame. The tendency is to apply too much pressure working the paint out, which results in uneven paint distribution leaving behind lines in the dry paint film. Also the proper nap cover for the ceiling, sooth or textured, is a key to a beautiful ceiling.
