Looking for a really thin paint roller for behind a radiator

2.3K Posts


I have radiators where the gap behind is only 25mm at most. I bought a radiator roller but its a really stiff fit in that gap when dry. I don't think it would even rotate if I put paint on it and tried it in that gap.
So, has anyone come across a really tiny paint roller?
One problem I have is that the only size quoted for this type is 4", which is the length of the roller. Nobody seems to quote the thickness.
Thanks.

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
Or experiment with a spare foam roller - pull/rip off the foam to leave the bare plastic sleeve, and glue-wrap a strip of thick mopping-up cloth around it instead to make a mini mini-roller.
Lifting the rad is usually doable, but only if there's slack in the pipe tails, and quite a scary thing to do for the non-DIY minded.
I'd love to know how you get something like that into a 25mm gap behind a radiator.
