4 Inch Microfibre Roller Sleeves 10 Pack for Emulsion & Silk Walls | Medium-nap shed-resistant filament, brilliant lay-off on semi-smooth to smooth water-based coatings, own-bearing design

Good quality roller, goods coverage for a 4” roller and no issues with lint or fluff. I haven’t found it necessary to do the tape on the roller thing before use, which I see from review can be divisive…..

Great finish with both gloss and emulsion, would highly recommend seller and product

I have been using these alongside mini roller sleeves made by ProDec (Advance and Tiger Stripe), Rota (Professional Silver Stripe), and Axus (Pro-Finish Blue Series). I would like to be able to name a clear winner but, so far, they have all proved perfectly satisfactory when using emulsion. The different brands of sleeves do have very different feels. All are synthetic, but some have a harsher, more synthetic feel than others. They also vary in the density of the microfibre. This may result in subtle differences in performance with different paints. For example, I primed a wall with Bulls Eye 1-2-3 prior to painting with emulsion. This gummed up the Cottam sleeve resulting in the fibres matting down onto the core. This isn't something I have experienced with other sleeves - but it could be down to environmental conditions as much as the sleeve itself. As I can't single out the Cottam sleeves as being significantly better, price becomes a factor. I paid £6.99 for the Cottam sleeves whereas the competitors were priced around £3.50 to £4.50. As it is, I would recommend one of the other brands: probably opting for those made by Axus. If money really is no object, the Wooster mini roller strikes me as the Rolls Royce of mini rollers: both the frame and sleeves seem in a different league. However, it doesn't come without its own problems. For starters, although available through Amazon, it comes from the USA - with the attendant costs and delays. It also locks you into getting Wooster sleeves as it is a different system to other sleeves which are not compatible with it. And, if you use 4” mini roller trays, you will probably find the 4.5” Wooster mini roller won’t fit in it.

came just in time as i had ran out of them

Discovered i preferred the paint pad But this product is OK - just not for me in the future

1st roller sleeve used yesterday to paint a bedroom. It held and applied (emulsion) paint well and throughout the entire room, I noticed only a single, small deposit of fibre on a wall. Excellent. I shall buy more.

Thanks
