Before starting the painting work, you need to stock up on a roller and a bucket or a bathtub in which squeegee grids are installed. This simple device will help remove excess paint. You can apply and classical baths, as in the figure with the left. The performance of the roller is much higher than the performance of the brush. It can be used for priming and staining with lime, glue and oil paint. How to do it right, the site will repair the apartment with its own hands.
Steel, plastic or plywood can be used for the manufacture of the squeegee net. It is necessary to drill a hole of diameter 12-15 mm at a distance of 20 mm from each other in a staggered order.
You will not be able to paint the corners of the walls with the plinths, platbands, etc. Therefore, in such places, first paint well with a brush. It is important to select the pile of the roller from this depending on the result.
Technique for painting walls and ceilings with a roller
The dyeing technique is simple and is made as follows. We dip into the paint, then to squeeze out the excess, roll on the grid. Now you can start painting. On the walls, a roller is carried from the top to the bottom and from the bottom upwards, on the ceiling - in the direction of the rays of light. The paint strips are superimposed, overlapping each other by 4-5 cm. After dipping into the paint, the roller first applies a thick layer, therefore it is necessary to roll several times in one place. Then the paint is consumed on it, and it is necessary to increase the pressure on the instrument.
Walls can be covered in one step with vertical stripes or two steps, applying first vertical strips, and then horizontal ones. Paint try to shade well. Quality is achieved by applying more layers.
Important! When painting the ceiling or walls, completing the movement of the roller in one direction, it seems to structure the paint in one direction. Thanks to this the ceiling does not shine and the paint falls more clearly without motley.
Sometimes the paint is applied with a brush, it grows well, and then it is rolled with a roller to smooth and get a uniform painting.
With a roller, you can not only paint the walls and ceiling, but also apply a primer to the surface.
Roller is a much more productive tool than brushes: it can be painted for a day up to 300 square meters of surface. He has a long service life. If it is made of high-quality fur, then it is enough for painting 3000 m2 of different surfaces.
After finishing work, the roller should be washed in water, and then with soap - depending on which paint was used. And from the lime composition, and from the remains of the oil paint, the rinsed tool will become unusable. Do it right and it will last you a long time.
