Steps for Choosing and Using a Paint Roller:
1. Mauro explains that paint roller brushes are measured by their nap length, which determines coverage and texture.
a. Shorter naps, around ¼-inch length, are good for smooth surfaces because they can cover the surface in paint without applying too much texture.
b. Medium length naps, around 3/8-inch length, are good for semi-rough surfaces because the slightly longer fibers can push paint into the dips in the surface, allowing for full coverage, but aren’t so long that they add additional texture to the surface.
c. Long naps, around 1-inch thick, can soak up a lot of paint and will therefore add a ton of texture to the walls. They’re best for things like popcorn ceilings or other surfaces that already have a ton of texture to them.
2. Mauro also points out that the packaging for paint roller brushes are usually labeled with their nap length and what they’re best used for.
3. Mauro also shares a few roller techniques for painting:
a. Fully saturate the roller in the paint tray before application.
b. Apply the paint to the surface starting from the bottom of the surface and at a slight diagonal.
c. Each pass should cover the previous pass by about 30%
d. Don’t stop until the entire surface is covered. If some of the paint is allowed to dry before the surface is done, stroke marks can be left behind on the wall and make for a poor painting job.
Resources:
Mauro explained the paint rollers have different nap lengths based on the texture of the surface being painted. In general, a roller with a shorter nap is good for smooth surfaces, and a roller with a longer nap is good for rough surfaces.
The materials Mauro used to demonstrate these techniques, including the paint, the tray, and the roller, can all be found at home centers.

I think Mauro fits in really well with the original crew.
Weekend Handyman agree. I like him and how he explains things. He knows his stuff too
I agree, and to be honest I think he does a lot to shatter people's preconceived notions of Hispanic tradespeople as maybe being lower quality. He's smooth, professional, deeply knowledgeable, and fits right in with the rest of the ToH cast. I think he was a wonderful addition and I love watching his sections.
I agree!
Hi TOH , I love that color , blue is my favorite color , nice painting tips Mauro , Thanks !!! 👍😀🖌🎨
Thank you for the video. There are different materials used in different rollers. I would like to see a video about the material.
Mauro is a delight! Love the segments with him
Mauro another great job!
With all the painting I do in apartments you really don't see much smooth texture or even heavy texture. I've found that most walls can be painted with a good quality 3/8 to 1/2 in nap roller. I also tend to roll heavier. Also do not forget to back roll keeping the open end of the roller towards your wet edge.
Started using 3/4” nap on fairly smooth walls with great results. It holds a lot of paint.
that's ok with matt's but silks and eggshells short pile is best
J.W.Painting using 3/4” with Valspar eggshell with no problems.
@@gregj2647 silk you would have to have to use short maybe medium
won't that create texture? I thought 3/8 was standard for interior walls
ceeloc no issues creating texture. The advantage is that the roller holds lots of paint
There is definitely a knack to painting. I've seen some horrendous painting jobs in my time.
Practice makes perfect.
Just painted for the first time the other day. Much more work than originally expected. Especially prep. At the end it was worth it because I’m very happy with my paint job. There’s a few areas I could’ve done better but in the end I’m still very happy with it
@@mohammadshahin4922 Good job.
Some have a knack for it, some people don't. Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll be very happy with your next big paint job.
Love it!!! This is great, but wish you would have covered types of rollers... like I see some that are natural fibers or synthetic... I guess since you didn't mention it... I can get the cheapest version and just worry about NAP length, thanks!
lambswool polyamide microfibre are three of the best
@@jackwardley3626 Yeah I do see the lambswool is more expensive, but good to know
I bought a 1.25" polyester roller to stain my old fence with lots of raised grain. Couldn't find any info on why you should use one material over another. Wish me luck...
Mauro every time he’s on says nice and smoof
i want way more about details
More importantly is the material of the paint roller itself. Woosters LAMBWOOL or any other 100% lambsWool roller for that matter will reduce any micro splatter and leave a NO track finish. Also, people throw away the pan and get yourself a 5 gallon bucket & paint grid. Life is too short to be aggravated with a flimsy paint pan. And last but not least, Wooster also has a line of 6” & 4” rollers with their innovative roller cage for thos tight spots. Quality paint is also the wat to go. My opinion SHERWIN WILLIAMS EMERALD. Hope this helps the serious DIY’ers.
Yes but what do you do with the bucket when you are finished? Clean it out? That must be quite a job.
I have seen that a 1000 times on a 1000 different shows.
Did not mention what the roller material was made from, they differ!!
Was this videos main point to tell me to read the labels of paint rollers while choosing one?
بلتوفيق
Say Hello to my little roller
Y does every1 wear plaid ?
I only see two people wearing dress shirts
I’m
But how to clean?
😃👍🏻👊🏻
You want to choose the right paint roller go to a real paint store and not a home center. The paint store will have a better selection not only nap size but what it's made of. I always use fine naps when painting interior walls. With todays low VOC paints you can feather your edges and finish off your strokes better.
I don't understand the importance of the wet edge. Dude says that the paint will dry and it will be hard to fix but that doesn't explain what goes wrong in that situation.
You will get globs of paint because you have a mixture of wet and dry paint. This creates an uneven texture.
Doesn't blend well with the dried portion.
In my understanding it is also that going over dry paint means 1 section has 2 coats while the other has 1 which can lead to visible sheen differences
You might also get liftoff when you go over semi-dry paint with wet paint. The dry-ish stuff hasn’t cured, so it sticks to the wet roller, while the other, wet portion looks good. It’s not the end of the world, your next coat should be able to fix it, but don’t do it on your last coat.
"thats thicc"
Why in the world does this channel re-upload almost every single video they post?
I'm surprised that experienced painter like him would tell you to start at the bottom of the wall,You never put the roller full of paint at the bottom or the top of the wall,You should start little bit higher than middle of the wall that way You give yourself plenty of space to stretch the paint evenly
Who’s using popcorn surfaces anymore,.useless video
No one, but they still exist and some people don’t care. They just want to paint over.
Your comment, and some of your punctuation was useless.
The entire apartment complex I live in has popcorn surfaces on everything but the floor.
Plenty of old buildings have old materials... kind of dumb to think that every wall in the world matches with (your interpretation of) modern.
