Has anyone tried using a roller to apply the various coats? Good idea? If so, what kind of roller did you use?

Get one that has little to no fuzz. You won't be able to use it on the first coat. You need the brush to get into the cracks, crevices, etc. Second/third coat--roller was great. Got a very smooth covering with no drip marks.

the roller will leave bubbles, I tried and had to go back over it with a brush.

depends on how you apply it a smooth roller which is what I use probably will but only for one coat if you brush probably it will use 2 quarts I like to have extra in case of scratches whatnot but I did 2 thin coats with roller on 17' cat which has a lot of sub water line

yeah, but not 100% without some care and help with priming. i sprayed some heavy ceiling paint but it took as long as using a roller.... so if that's all you are considering using the machine for, i might pass. it is really designed for "regular" paints

I do two minutes each coat just to be safe. Don't forget to rub with rubbing alcohol when ur finished :)

Hi, my walls were textured with many bumpy coats of satin paint and it worked great. In fact, the magnetic painted area became a thick smooth surface, but I used the whole can for a small area which was a very thick coat.

I didn't have any luck with either of those. I wound up doing the corners and trim by hand. Even so, the main unit was a REAL arm- / back- / splatter- / drip- / mess- and TIME- saver. 100% worth the money on EVERY measure!Again, clean it THOROUGHLY as instructed after each major job or color change. (Just overnight, no problem - although when I did that, I wrapped the roller tightly inside a garbage bag to prevent any drying out.

I assume you mean roller - No. You must use a roller that has holes in it to allow the paint to flow from the interior of the roller support to the fibers or foam in the roller. you can see these holes in the wagner rollers. FYI you can clean the rollers and use with different paint colors. I personally have owned 2 of these and absolutely love them... I've painted 3 houses with them. If you start with the lighter colors first like the ceilings and then move on you can reduce the number of roller purchases, but they are cheap compared to the cost of the paint. enjoy

You should get one for each and try to get their favorite color so that they can keep them from mixing. I use rubbing alcohol just dribble over the roller while in the holder and spin the roller to coat. Rinse w water. Be careful not to bend any pins. I have had tremendous hair growth since December.

Yes. The vinylux white for painting worked for me. It's thinner than other companies so an extra coat of white was called for.

On flag stone, I used small sponge roller, apply it twice back to back after the first coat is dry. Do not use big roller, it will make bubbles.

Probably, though I applied in spray form. It's not very viscous...very watery, so I'd say brush over roller. Good luck!

Yes, I just cleaned the surface really well and then applied the tape. Once applied, I used a small wallpaper seem roller to press it down as I held a hair dryer to the tape.

According to the instructions u can use a paint spray but I know that I didn't use a spray. I did the old fashion paint roller and the layers of paint was the same as if the additives wasn't in the paint

It is better applied with a brush. It has a hardener which gives you about 45 minutes to apply before it gets too stiff. A roller would become too stiff to use.

How long did you wait in between coats? You should let the first coat dry and cure for 48 hours and then do another coat. Don't do another coat on an hour like it says. It will just peel. As far as fixing it, you will need to sand, clean, and.start over. Make sure you mix each bucket individually and then add one to the other and mix it again. Also keep the room cool. I put a fan in the room. Not only does it help with vetilation, but it helpls it cure in the proper temperture. Hope this helps.

If so only with the roller attachment and reduced with water. I would be hesitant to try . Btw I have used Restore and it is a very good product but requires 2 - 3 coats with brush and roller for good effect.

It worked just fine on my textured ceilings. I didn't have any problems with using this product. Purchased it for the first time about 6 or 7 years ago from QVC and am just now having to replace the rollers and brushes. Not because they wore out, because person that borrowed the system, didn't return the rollers or brushes. Love the product. No more taking time to tape and then remove the tape.
