Roller
Spattering: Tendency of a roller to throw off small
droplets of paint during application.
Possible Causes:
Use of exterior paint on an interior surface.
Use of lower grades of latex paints.
Solution:
Higher quality paints are formulated to minimize
spattering. Using high quality rollers which have proper
resiliency further reduces spattering. In some cases, a
quality wall paint may be preferred for ceiling work, for
maximum spatter resistance. Overloading the roller with
paint will result in excess spatter, as will overworking
the paint once it is applied to a substrate. Working in
three-feet square sections, applying the paint in a zigzag
"M" or "W" pattern and then filling in the pattern will
also lessen the likelihood of spattering. |
