Good video. I actually thought this was a modern video! I have to roll an entire house and my 9 inch roller frames are 25 years old, good shape but the 18 incher is what I want. I also must comment on the paint tray in the video. The 9 inch ones were a sloppy nightmare but the new design seems to work better. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice job, I agree about the spatter, it can be greatly reduced by the right combination of paint and roller, gone are the days of finishing work looking like a snowman. Someone mentioned uneven finish, the roller sleeve gets fully loaded to get the paint on the wall, you then "back roll" while the paint is still wet to get that even finish. An 18" sleeve will let you do this as the application process is so quick.
Hopefully, soon the day will come, that 9" Roller Covers become obsolete. They take way too long to paint with, and I personally love either a 14" Roller Cover, or an 18" Roller Cover. I prefer at least a 3/4 inch nap on the roller covers that I use.
ohhh what good memorïes you bring back to me,,,,use to paiñt with the 18 roller in1989 when i lived in new jersey and ẅorked as a house painter know its 2019 and im still a painter but in greece,,,i hated that roller it was to heavy for a 16 old boy hahaha....thank you brian
I am a DIY guy and I have successfully used 18" roller on many occasions. You need to make sure you pick the trim or edge roller with same material and thickness otherwise you will get photo frame effect.
I agree with you totally. 9" roller covers seem to quickly becoming a thing of the past. I have grown to hate them-With a vengeance! If I can't roll with an 18", or at the very least, a 14" inch roller cover, then I consider it to be a huge waste of time!
guitarss2 I'm a pro painter and I always use flat paint to prime. If the final coat is eggshell or satin you will see any patching or taping right through the paint but if you flat coat it it covers beautifully. I get the flat coat color the same as the final coat color if final coat is a sheen. Found this out by accident and was happy I did. thnks.
Once you have use a larger roller and scuttle there's no going back using a flimsy 7 to 9 inch roller and tray (Although its ok for pasting walls and wallpapers). Also the benefit of using 12 to 18 inch frame is its double hooked each size unlike the 2 above.
It is indeed rare, for me to use anything below a 14" Paint Roller...and I actually prefer an 18" Roller System, as it gets the job done, in approximately half the time that a 9" Roller System would. I love one other thing about the more modern Paint Stick Systems-More in the way of stability, as it refers to having the roller system supported on both ends of the roller, as opposed to only one side of the roller. One-sided systems, if the roller isn't screwed on to the paint stick tightly enough, can literally lead the roller beginning to come unscrewed from the paint stick...and can drive a person, literally, to the point of madness, what with having to screw the roller back onto the paint stick every few minutes. I know, because I've had that happen to me, on one of the last jobs that I was on! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
If your serious about using an !8" roller you might want to check out this frame at dandoent these guys make the only !8" frame that lets you roll tight to an inside corner, and the way its set up makes it very easy to use.
You know, I've literally had people tell me that I'd wear myself out, using an 18" Roller. They forgot how strong I still am, even at 60 years old! I TOTALLY prefer the 14" and 18" roller systems, especially the 18" setups! I flat-out refuse to use a 9" roller ever again!
15 Minutes, tops, and he's done! Cutting in before rolling, though, is easily the longest part of painting any room, with painting the trimwork being the second-longest part of painting a room. I personally use the C U, R, T system, that being CU-Cutting in, R-Rolling the walls, and T-Painting the Trim work last. It's the best system that there is. I've seen where people that thought that they knew what they were doing, do the trimwork first. That's a huge no-no! That's because when you're cutting or rolling, paint can speckle up the trim work, and then you've gotta do it all over again! Cut, Roll, and Trim is the best, and most successful way that there is to paint with brush and roller.
What kind of paint is that ? and i would like you to see you work in old building apartments where there are much more repairs to be made and its harder to work. = )
@mxmaz Not all paint spatters. Also, paint that does spatter with one roller cover won't spatter with another. I'm a freak about paint spatters. You won't see me spreading paint that does.
25 yrs qualified. I'll second Quitarss2. First coat primed with thinned flat emulsion allowing paint to soak in and grab the surface otherwise its top heavy. Standard procedure. Cut in first because you want the texture of the wall roller over the biggest area.
I only use 9 inchers for small walls but my back went after 6 years on the 18s so I went for the 14 woosters they are half the speed if that and twice the cost but anythings better the a little roller
It is generally faster, easier, and produces a better result to remove everything that can be removed easily. I remove switch plates, door hardware (except hinges), cabinet hardware (also except hinges), trim rings, etc.
from what I gather from your videos you seem to remove all things like light switches from walls before painting, is this really neccesary? Would it not be easier to just cut around them or tape them up?
Hey, it would be great to hear some commentary with this video, especially to help identify which bits are useful practices and which bits are just random...
no whites, no painter. next video. just playing, I like it. I usually only use 18's for a back roll and nines for a dip... I hate pans. But I like it if used in an empty house like that...although I would of sprayed those walls.
What about the pile of the roller? Is it preferred long or short? I am currently renovating my old walls and was wondering do the long haired rollers spend more paint unnecessarily?
We use microfiber roller covers 9/16 inch for new drywall. You may want to use a 3/8 inch over something previously painted although 9/16 also works, you'll need to spread the paint further with a 9/16.
@irich62 Silly judgment on your part. Primer is useless. Prove me wrong, you will be the first. Amateur painters make comments like yours. Im pretty sure this will look fine at night. flickr.com/photos/jackpauhl/5118400733/in/set-72157624903275205/
I am a pro. I would not use this size of roller. Its too uncomfortable:) However thanks for the other vids you posted great work! Just how I do it on drywall!
@chingarespecto Do they make buckets for 18" rollers? NO they dont. I wouldnt put PVA on anything I paint. Why dont you go read jackpauhl.blogspot.com/2008/12/drywall-primers.html and learn from a pro because you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
But I think you always apply flat paint in new construction right. You guys don't look like decorators. Ha ha. Just kidding but serious about the painting.
one of the many few people i seen on youtube that actually backrolled entire wall
I painted my son's room Sunday before last. I learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you! I did a great job!!!

By the way, thanks for all the work and your advice that you give, Mr Havanas! You're a rare breath of inspiration.

Finally somebody who can paint with some common sense.

I believe that that's what a Painter Friend of mine called "Hat-Banding". No matter what you call it, it looks horrible!

Nice job on the vid, AND the reply. Don't you love all having all these experts around to straighten us out? ;)
Really impressive
Get really nice finish with 18 inch rollers. I'll only use 18 inch if I want to get work done fast as opposed to 12 to 15 inch rollers
I just painted a huge ceiling using this roller.... cut my time in half. It works great.
You know, I've literally had people tell me that I'd wear myself out, using an 18" Roller.
They forgot how strong I still am, even at 60 years old! I TOTALLY prefer the 14" and 18" roller systems, especially the 18" setups! I flat-out refuse to use a 9" roller ever again!
Do you ever use a 9" on new walsl or is the lowest you go 12"- OR do you ALWAYS use an 18" on new walls?? Great vid man!
I know from useing those 18 inchers for the last 6 years my left shoulder is really really strong
Great Vid. I always use a 18" roller when I can.

Liners for your Wooster Big Ben roller tray can be found on Amazon.
awesome video!!
nice job what was the estimate for that job? and did you did double coat?
does it have to be from top to bottom? if you stop half way and leave it will it dry alright?
@mxmaz Not all paint spatters. Also, paint that does spatter with one roller cover won't spatter with another. I'm a freak about paint spatters. You won't see me spreading paint that does.
I really love how the walls aren't primed first 😆 and they make 18 roller bins to by the way I use trays never.
25 yrs qualified. I'll second Quitarss2. First coat primed with thinned flat emulsion allowing paint to soak in and grab the surface otherwise its top heavy. Standard procedure. Cut in first because you want the texture of the wall roller over the biggest area.
Beautiful !
@TheSHCS yes they do make buckets for 18'' rollers. you learn from a pro
I only use 9 inchers for small walls but my back went after 6 years on the 18s so I went for the 14 woosters they are half the speed if that and twice the cost but anythings better the a little roller
seems so much quicker with the 18 do you rec. this ?
How long have u been painting?
what primer do you use? i use ideal paints its pretty good
It is generally faster, easier, and produces a better result to remove everything that can be removed easily. I remove switch plates, door hardware (except hinges), cabinet hardware (also except hinges), trim rings, etc.
I'm Sold!
what size nap is that?
from what I gather from your videos you seem to remove all things like light switches from walls before painting, is this really neccesary? Would it not be easier to just cut around them or tape them up?
Hey, it would be great to hear some commentary with this video, especially to help identify which bits are useful practices and which bits are just random...
Thanks for tip.
Yes. Today, we are rolling 100 sq ft in 60 secs. Makes this video look rookie.
I always wear clean jeans boots & t-shirt when I paint. What was the point of your video?
that's it ! keep the pan close , not walking back n forth across the room
I like that
no whites, no painter. next video. just playing, I like it. I usually only use 18's for a back roll and nines for a dip... I hate pans. But I like it if used in an empty house like that...although I would of sprayed those walls.
So you are 6 years older now...
i think load too much and spin so fast, must be some paint on the floor, i cant see clearly, maybe not even coverage
That roller didnt have any paint, rollers hold alot of paint
Thats fast, but man I bet paint is flyin all over him and the floor, I would be careful loading that much and rolling that fast in a finished home.
Sprinkles all over that floor.
Where are you cut-ins, or are you one of those painters that only cuts in once, after the first roll?
trim not on, primer layer. you can get away with murder.
But isn't this kind of a too thick film of coating?
Not at all for new drywall.
What about the pile of the roller? Is it preferred long or short? I am currently renovating my old walls and was wondering do the long haired rollers spend more paint unnecessarily?

2020 gang gang bunch of bummers.
@chingarespecto yes u can, i have 2 20+ inch scuttles which can take over 20 litres of paint, proves how much you know
@irich62 Silly judgment on your part. Primer is useless. Prove me wrong, you will be the first.
Amateur painters make comments like yours. Im pretty sure this will look fine at night.
