Roller Spattering
 

Description:
Tendency of a roller to throw off small droplets of paint during application.

Possible Cause:
• Use of exterior paint on an interior surface.

• Use of low grades of latex paint.

Solution:
High quality paints are formulated to minimize spattering. Using high quality roller covers which have proper resiliency further reduces spattering. Overloading the roller cover with paint will result in excess spatter, as will overworking the paint once it is applied to a substrate. If a highly noticeable sizzling sound is made when rolling, then more paint is needed on the cover. Working in three-feet square sections, apply the paint in a zigzag "N" pattern. Then, fill in the pattern, this will lessen the likelihood of spattering.

Recommended System:
All of Flex Bon Interior Paints are formulated to resist spattering
