    I'm a self taught painter.. been painting professionally for about 7 years, started off turning rental units like apartments and mobile homes. ( and YES, I have made my share of mistakes!). now doing warranty work for a builder out here in Texas, and getting a few full repaints from homeowners. Your Videos are fantastic. Painting isn't easy if done right!.. I totally respect your approach. I do some things a bit different, and also have incorporated many of your lessons into my way of getting it done. Products and specific tools aside, I LOVE your respect of PREP.. the guy who turned me on to my current gig told me .." You can have the fanciest tools, and most expensive paint on Earth, and if your job isn't prepped correctly, you might as well be rolling dog shit with a Q-tip".
    Thanks for the effort you put into your UA-cam channel.. I'm sure you've helped way more people than me!..

    I never thought of some of the things you brought up, like a flexible roller causing trailing edges, and the way microfiber nap tends to drag, which I never considered might be caused by the cheap roller. Great insights Chris!

    I actually prefer the small/inexpensive 4” rollers, much easier to maneuver around as you cut in. The expensive one weights almost twice as much. Review 18” roller frames next! Never seen a “double 9” roller frame”, roller trays are another one, I’ve had the same 5 roller trays for like 7 years now

    I love the one that is lightweight and adjustable between 12-18". It holds roller from the sides so you don't mount the sleeve on top of it hence less friction.

      Purdy extension poles suck! They slip! And for this reason, I use Wooster Sherlock

    • @AlexKunstar
      @AlexKunstar 3 роки тому

      Yeah, I went from Wooster quick connects to purdy poles and frames. Loving every second of it. Only thing I don't like is some of my bigger extension poles tend to slip and slide down after a while, also had one of the quick connects break at the tiny hook in the end. But honestly I don't mind investing in new ones and just rotating them out. Absolutely love the new purdy setup.

      Buy Purdy brushes and you'll be fine.

      Purdy adjustable 12-18” frame seems to better than the Wooster frames. However wooster sherlock 9” is light years better than the purdy all plastic pro frame.

    The Roller COVER goes over the Roller. Making a video about Rollers, you called the Roller Covers 'Rollers' also. Just a small point. I enjoy your videos, and they are always informative. Kinda like Caulk Guns - don't spend $2.99 on the Caulk and $1.99 on the Caulk Gun. Get a good one instead.

      I don't know if I'd call roller choice a professional tool..

And yes there is a big difference between a cheap roller frame and a more expensive professional type roller frame
