- I was sent this roller by a company called iconicwalls.co.uk
They sent me it for free to try out.
I must say I was converted straight away and will be using these from now on.
They are quicker than a brush and more accurate.
The roller is by Painto and can be found on iconicwalls website.
It's the future and not at all a DIY gimmick.
This is the way to go for professional decorators.
Awesome tool 👍👍👍👍
Holy cow. Was looking for something like this!
Mate it's amazing. The best thing that's come along in years
Loads of these type of tools about. I use the starlyf paint edger can take a Hamilton 4 inch sleeve does all edges perfect. Was around £20 from Amazon.
I use a purdy white dove roller against a long metal spatula.
Looks like this with the brushes may give a tighter margin.
Mate this roller is amazing as people love that white line around the ceiling
Nice one
Hi Daniel, always enjoy your videos.👍
Just went on their website to check the price for the painto.
It's £14.50.
The only problem they want £10.50 to deliver.😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
If they want to get their foot in on the decorating side in England, then they need to sort their delivery prices out.
Blimey. Lucky I got that one free
You’ll make that delivery price back in a couple of hours
@ftocar no mate that delivery price is taking the piss.
You get a 10 litre tub of paint cheaper.
Like I said with delivery price like that, they will struggle.
@@painterman8863Contract Matt, maybe.
On eBay under £10 free delivery
hi daniel. it looks great. do you think it will work against coving and dado rails where the edge is thinner
I have seen L8nomat do a smaller edge roller and a edge brush but impossible to buy in the UK. Only Netherlands
Used similar all the time when I was a decorator in Sweden. They use one that you attactch ro a roller pole too. Obviously you still have to cut in the corners .
Mate proper game changer. Customers couldn't believe the accuracy of the cutting in
@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 the ones I used had replaceable brushes. Do these mate?
@@briancunningham594 no mate. What brand do you use
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 it was a Swedish brand Flugger.
Mate that’s well good I’m not gonna lie took me about 3 years to learn cutting in and I don’t want to forget the skill but you could cut in a ceiling in 10 minutes with that
Mate I proper love it. I'd thought I would disguard it but it actually works perfect. So quick
Just watched it again I love how happy it makes you haha ordered one now
Really? 3 years to learn how to cut in? If you can’t cut in with both hands after a couple of weeks you should give up.
i came here after seeing the title for a laugh as being a painter with 38yrs exp we always laugh at these mickey mouse gadgets, BUT it works 😂, i did see this previously on another vid & what i like is the continuous roller finish as opposed to brush marks , I'd be more impressed if it was a very dark colour against the ceiling white but il try it mate, sold 👍
Mate
I've used it on a few jobs now and it saves me so much time it's a game changer.
Leaves a nice sharp line just below the plasterers line. Just touch in the corners and away you go.
I've noticed that iconicwalls.co.uk now sell the roller refills and the pink plastic bit containing the brushes
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 i bought from there set up account upon seing your vid, 👍 i have always used mini rollers for corners not just speed & easier but as i mentioned continuous roller finish, i use the Axus heavy pile holds loads i can do both corners on one load, you run it off & it's not too heavy a finish orange peel etc, can always dilute to reduce the heavy finish too but never need to, if im mist coating all white you get 100% roller finish & i just cut in different colour to ceiling with brush, if this works with deep colours im very impressed, i was once thinking of paint pens etc as the point finds the line perfectly & is on rails so to speak & was looking at producing with Dulux or whoever, but i never pursued it, it would of just give that perfect line & few mil needed to make cutting in up to so much easier
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 My recent gamechanger was for going over old oil paint with Leyland Acrylic primer/undercoat , 5L around £35 i follow with the Leyland Hardwearing Eggshell 2 coats again cheap around £40 5L 10L £60 10× tougher than standard paint, scrubbable, low odour stays pure white, the finish & whiteness is like brand new PVC, just like silk as you know is so much whiter than matt but this can be used on wood too, also did the scratch test with the P/Undercoat & it was fine , cheaper than Zinseer 👍
Been painting 30 years always cut and roll and lines straight and sometimes I’ll tape up on feature walls
I will buy and try this to see if it passes the test. I use proform contractor brushes very good.
@@user-ud9rn7dw6q painting 30 yrs & tape up to cut in feature wall ? I've served 38 now but i only use tape against carpet when doing skirtings to stop picking up fluff etc, if you rely on tape you never learn to cut in, these rollers are good but what i found was it leaves a fine line just a couple of mil below which resembles a minimal mastic finish ? if you know what i mean
Great looking tool Daniel. Can you use standard rollers or does one buy from iconic do you know? Re the comment about postage, if you are a professional you will get the cost of your postage back on the first job by the looks of it and tax deductible no doubt!
Mate I've found similar tool on decorating direct. It's called Linomat edge roller and I went to Brewers just now and purchased Hamilton Perfection Midi sleeves in a medium and long pile. Going to trial them next week so we will know the easy way to replace roller only rather than the whole tool. I will do another vid onced sussed
like awesome but what about the corners?
Just a small fitch for the internal corners. You can cut a room in so quick I still can't get over it.
If it makes my life easier. Then why not.
I can still cut in but this looks like a great tool.
If we stay in the past we wouldn’t even be using rollers. Be brush pairing entire walls.
True mate. Anything to speed up a job.
Looking at the web address and the writing on the packaging it is a Polish company.
Arrrhhh cheers for that. I didn't know that. I thought Germany but great to know
Have you have a link mate??
www.decoratingdirect.co.uk/viewprod/f/FDDLINOEDG/
I am in the US. All I can find on Amazon and eBay is knock off garbage. The link works but they don't offer shipping to the US. Any suggestions? Thanks
I should imagine that coving would be a stumbling block
Yes mate. To be used on ceilings without cove
@@danielnugent2168 ah right ok, pretty clever piece of kit 👍
nb postage is not £10.50 its about£4 and having spoken to the company, smooth and fluffy rollers can be used from your normal supplier or stock.
Just went to Brewers and found Hamilton Perfection Midi Sleeve which is spot on core size. I've brought a medium and a long pile and will trial them out so we will know then that we can replace the roller sleeve without the whole thing replaced.
Decorating Direct do them but a different manufacturer
It's Linomat edge roller.
Thanks for the swift response Daniel. I've ordered the one you used in the video but look forward to seeing your follow up video. I've used edging tools in the past with varying degrees of success. this seems better than anything I've used before. Some of the other cutting in tools are needlessly complicated or difficult to clean or if you get any paint under the guiding edge, it doesn't end well. Also, with this tool, it looks as though any paint that gets under the edge can be cleaned off "on the go". Your obvious surprise and enthusiasm sold it to me. Happy painting!!@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557
Does it really take that long for a skilled experienced tradesman to cut in ceiling lines
It shouldn’t do really let’s be honest
How much are ya getting for peddling these
Nothing. They just sent it free to try out but I actually like it.
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 seen loads of these and they all look like proper gack gimmicks. That one looks like it might be decent
No dust sheets 😱😱😱
Brought one of these after watching this video to give it a try out of curiosity.
To be honest they are absolutely trash and i would not recommend for any professional tradesman. The margin is way too big and can be seen from across the room. Also the brushes on the side leave horrible brush strokes as they are too small and too stiff. the plastic also scratches the ar2 ceiling paint a little. Might be ok for diy but definitely not a professional decorator.
I don't like tools like this the easier decorating is made the less work there's going to be
In the 1960s guys never would use a roller as they thought a fad and painted huge ceilings 12inch brushes...
Painting, the walls is not all there is to decorating
How much mate?
Around 15 pounds mate.
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 ty mate.
I wouldn't get to carried away with this Daniel.I think you need to trial this out on a few jobs first.Remember not all ceiling corners are straight.
@@geoffreymeare3406 true mate. It says on the box for woodchip walls too so I will trial it out when I get a job with textured walls
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Keep us updated how you get on using it after a few jobs......thanks.
All well and good but when the ceiling is Artex or the ceiling line is like a dogs hind leg that tool won’t be of any use to you at all my friend
I will trial it out when I get a job with textured ceilings or walls just to see
Yeah but when you do get good walls and ceiling that will speed ya up
Only good for straight lines. Everything else has to be done with brush....
Looks good. Hope you dont tear the arse out of your decorating jobs like you do your youtube videos though! 😅
The quality of the clip is too bad to judge it fairly, but on first glance it does not look as presice as my cutting in, And im a DIYer not a professional.
Does it leave a gap at top of wall that meets ceiling
Yes mate leaves a lovely boarder just below the plaster line which looks sharp. Customers prefer it
Indeed looks like you save time on using a brush
But youll spend hours cleaning all the splash marks off your kitchen units 😆😆
Kills the game a bit, no?
I know mate but more and more customers don't do painting especially younger generations. You can cut in so quick and get a room done alot quicker
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Yeah, I agree with you about the youngsters. I just hate seeing the art taken out of it, but unfortunately everything has become about time and money.
@@deepzepp4176 true mate. We have to give a good price and work quick where other trades get more for doing less
So that painto better then your cutting in then m8.
No. But makes certain jobs alot quicker
We as decorators are supposed to be skilled tradesman. If we start using stuff like this then we are just turning into diyers as this takes away the skill of cutting in
I know what you mean. It does take away the skill of cutting in
Absolutely agreed
32 years in the trade I won’t use one of those gimmicks now lol
Yet I do understand it could help if you had a wall 69 feet long and it’s straight with no corners and 9 feet high lol
It may help the young generation as their on phones 24/7 and won’t concentrate long enough to cut a line
Time is money.
@@user-ud9rn7dw6q I’ve been a P+D for over 40yrs,and have been using these "gimmicks" for over 3yrs…I save a whole day using these on a full house paint,which equates to over £18k minimum over three years….Cutting in with a brush still has its place,but I’m all for working smarter not harder….Instead of immediately dismissing these,why not give them a go?
I think you still need to cut in though? This still leaves a white line from the wall to ceiling as far as I understood from the vid just a neater way of doing the edges. I already use a roller anyway but this just gets you a bit closer then you have to use the brush right?
Can you please give me the details as I tried it on goggle but could not find it
