On a long wall or a big ceiling it takes the number of passes down and keeps a wet edge alive, which is what stops a lap mark showing up later when the light crosses it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTwo Fussy Blokes 14 Inch Microfibre Paint Roller Sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e is 360mm of semi-smooth microfibre on a \u003cstrong\u003e38mm (1½ inch) core\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it drops onto any standard 14 inch cage frame. Two naps are stocked, and the choice between them is about the surface rather than the quality of the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the nap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — interior walls and ceilings, MDF, timber and plywood. The one for a sound, flat substrate where you want the finish as smooth as a roller will give it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same walls and ceilings once they carry a light texture. It holds noticeably more paint, so you reload less and move faster, and the finish stays close to the 10mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorking with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater-based paint only\u003c\/strong\u003e — primers and topcoats. This is not a sleeve for solvent gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and spin it before the first use. New microfibre carries loose fibre, and thirty seconds under a tap keeps it out of your first coat. Loaded properly it releases evenly enough that laying off is usually unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWash it out after every use and keep the fabric damp between coats. Microfibre that dries hard does not come back, and that is what turns a sleeve you meant to reuse into a single-job sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 14 inch sleeve carrying a full load of paint is heavy, and heavier again on a pole above your head. If you have not worked at this width before, or the job is all ceilings, a 12 inch costs you very little time and a lot less shoulder. It is also the wrong tool for cutting in or for anything small.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Fussy Blokes","offers":[{"title":"10mm","offer_id":57194795925828,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15mm","offer_id":57194795958596,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5594\/2100\/files\/two-fussy-blokes-microfibre-roller-sleeve-10mm.png?v=1788531793","url":"https:\/\/www.paintlab.ie\/products\/two-fussy-blokes-14-inch-microfibre-paint-roller-sleeve","provider":"paintlab.ie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
