Foam or felt roller?

DublinDilbert · 2011-05-23 20:55:10

Hi All, What's the best type of roller for painting interior ceilings / walls? Does one splash more than the other? I normally use foam rollers for doing gloss on wood work and it works quite well. Thanks

Use a 9 inch short or medium fibre roller. They can be identified by the sttripe running through them

medium pile , red and yellow stripey one from woodies i find the best value, jst make sure its tight in the cage and you wont get lines
short pile for really smooth walls .
