So you recommend a very short pile wool type roller?, I think that's the type I have in the draw.;)

If you mean these emulsion sleeves:



No. If you mean these varnish sleeves:



Yes.

The latter, the velvety piled type, (thanks Leif)

Of course but the finish you get does depend on the type of roller sleeve you use and the techniques you use to apply the paint. If its a case of 1 hour each side with a brush or 15 /20 minutes for both sides to get the same result I know what I would choose.

BTW those daft foam things are next to useless.

1 hour, or more accurately 45 minutes, to do both sides and the two edges. I don't paint the top and bottom. I tried those foam things, as you say, rubbish. I tried some woolly ones, but they shed hairs. (Bought from B&Q, cough cough.) Cane Adam do some mini roller sleeves (bright orange) which have a velvet surface, and a squishy foam texture, I find them very good for touching up walls. They are a bit pricey at ~£3 each to non trade.

Some pros use a roller to put the paint on the door, then a brush to lay off.

Probably the sort I have and have never used, they have a distinct pile effect, like long haired velvet.

I shouldn't comment as I've never used rollers on gloss, but there is something inherently "odd" in pouring loss into a roller tray.

Thinking about it it must be because I almost always use none drip/gel type paints.:rotfl:

Why move a perfectly acceptable thread/now debate on a topic within household money saving after a week of exposure there??

Get on the case or get off the pot. poor response.

Because only the thread title/lead post were read and we were in moving mode anyway today?

No those orange ones are just a fuzzy coating over a spongy core. Tried one once just for the hell of it. Went in the bin after about 2 minutes. I think the ones you have are varnish sleeves which are fine for gloss.

I thought that once - until I tried it - now for a big area I wouldn't go back. Takes some time to learn how to do it and get a good finish though.

Yuk! Revolting stuff - but thats just my HO.
