FoamPRO 682 Paint Roller Handle, Pack of 1

Great roller. Worked well for my project.
Used this mini foam roller to apply water-based polyurethane to a faux-marble (wood) countertop in my laundry room. The directions for the polyurethane say to use a brush and not a roller to avoid air bubbles—but I didn’t have the patience for that and used this roller anyway. I went over the bubbles with a foam brush. It worked fine. I wrapped the roller head and the brush (separately) with plastic wrap (to keep them from drying out) while I waited 2 hours to apply the next coat of polyurethane—for 4 coats. The roller worked great for all 4 coats. The roller was a good value and arrived on time for my project.If my review was helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking “helpful”. Thanks.

Pretty good for the price
Preforms decent, very little lint. Not a bad roller at all

Great for cabinets
These rollers are great for things like cabinets and doors. They leave a perfectly smooth finish and no roller marks. I have used them on numerous products with very expensive and cheap paint and always have gotten the same results. I am usually a terrible painter by the way so I consider them fool proof.

Small, easy to use, easy to clean
I needed a small roller that’d fit into my jar of watercolor absorbent ground, and, would apply more evening to both stretched and panel canvas for art work. Though I could “usually” get a clean even surface using a brush (I’ve tried “many” from those I have), this produced a much more even clean surface, Ie, without lines and unevenness where the final picture would like like it had runs in the canvas weave which then created lines within the finish art work. Because of my watercolor ground, I did have very small specks and lumps of probably slightly dried or congealed ground. Those I was able to simple lift with a tapered metal palette knife. Then I’d gently re-roll the small roller and smooth out the texture. Though there was a gentle canvas weave visible on the grounds when finished applying, it all settled more smoothly than I’d expected when the canvas was dry. Cleaning the roller with warm water worked well, but applying a small amount of soap very quickly cleaned the roller. The fuller picture added to my review shows the roller on an 8×10 stretched canvas, and the closer shot shows the resultant weave or texture the next day, pre-sanded. I almost always very gently use a small moistened piece of sandpaper to go over the absorbent ground (unless I want a more textured effect). All in all, great price for so far a very hand easy to use product 😊

Compré estos rodillos para aplicar poliuretano base agua. Pero antes tuve que aplicar un producto sellador que realmente se parece bastante a una pintura vinílica de calidad. El resultado de aplicar la pintura vinílica con el rodillo fue muy bueno, prácticamente sin marcas y dejo un acabado liso como esperaba. Posteriormente use un rodillo para aplicar el poliuretano, después de filtrarlo como se recomienda. En este caso inmediatamente empecé a ver pequeños puntos negros y mini pelusa en la superficie donde acababa de pasar el rodillo. Trate varios rodillos, trate de limpiarlos antes de usarlos. El resultado fue el mismo. Terminé aplicando el poliuretano con una brocha sintética Liquitex.

Love them!
