ROLLER SPATTERING - INTERIOR

Tendency of a roller to throw off small droplets of paint during application.

Causes

  • Use of exterior paint on an interior surface.
  • Use of lower grades of latex paints.
  • Use of low quality roller cover.
  • Rolling paint too fast, or with too long a nap.
  • Overloading the roller with paint will result in excess spatter, as will overworking the paint once it is applied to a substrate .

Solutions

  • Use high-quality paints that are formulated to minimize spattering.
  • Using high-quality rollers designed to reduce spattering.
