Any ideas on how you can stop a roller splashing paint all over the place thanks?

rollers usually splash if you put too much paint on them. Try not loading as much paint when you dip it in. Also paint at a smooth even pace. going too fast can also cause splashes. But the best thing is to just invest in some plastic coverings. They're not to expensive and you won't have to worry about the splashes so much.Any ideas on how you can stop a roller splashing paint all over the place thanks?
you can buy rollers with a built on splash guard but probably what you need are a set of paint pads,,get them at your DIY shop...pretty cheap they are sponge pads which you Dab on thus eliminating splatterAny ideas on how you can stop a roller splashing paint all over the place thanks?
Don't overload it.
if you have a paint tray (that usually comes with the rollers) then make sure you have rolled the paint filled roller on the dotted surface a few times to squeeze out extra paint





splashing usually happens if paint is too diluted, or the roller has too much paint in it





good luck !!
roll the roller on the upper part of the paint tray to get the correct amount of paint and go slower to stop the over spray
The bumpy parts of the tray are there to run the paint roller over so that it isn't overloaded. You can't paint without paint (my dad's saying -- he hated it when you didn't reload often enough) but you can't have too much either. And don't put too much paint in the tray, just enough to fill the deep end.
Its the consistency of the paint. I bought some cheap contract magnolia and had loads of paint fly.


Then i painted over it with Dulux with no problem at all.
Splashing is a result of 2 components:





- Rolling to fast


- Too much paint





Modify any of these two and you should see improvement. Roll slower and evenly or make sure you use the paint pan to reduce the paint on your roller. If you load up your roller with paint and it drips when you lift it from the pan... you've got a tad much.
There is a roller handle that you can purchase at just about any home improvement store that has a plastic guard that snapped into place over the roller to help keep the splashing of paint to a minimum.
The only trick I can麓t tell you is do not put too much paint on it.Make sure you cover all the furniture with rags or plastic before you paint,and cover yourself if you don麓t want to end up like a surrealistic picture!!!
Going to fast.





The thinner the paint the more it will spray. That can be cheap paint or overthinning good paint.
Two main reasons for the paint splashing. 1, too much paint on roller: 2, going too fast so that the roller spins very fast and throws the paint off. After charging the roller with paint, roll the roller slowly over the wall to transfer the paint onto the wall and then spread it out once you have got the bulk of the paint on the wall.
dont over load the roller and cover the floor with painters covers
