Paint Runner™

I cannot get the Edger Handle to fit in to the Edger, it keeps slipping out.
You will need to push the handle in firmly and then you will hear a click. Do not be afraid to use a little force to ensure a snug fit.

The Paint does not come out of the roller head.
You should check that the paint is of a suitable type (see below) and has been thinned according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually around four parts paint to one part water). Paint consistency differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. The consistency of paint you need is similar to custard or cream (thick but pourable). The user should then “charge” the roller for 1-2 minutes on old newspaper before applying to the wall. If the paint does not start to appear on the roller after about 1 minute, the paint is still a little thick and needs to be thinned further.

What kind of paint should I use?
You would need water-based emulsion paint - Vinyl Matt or Vinyl Silk for example. (The paint used in the demonstration is Dulux trade emulsion). The uses of “Non-Drip”, “Single Coat” or oil based paints are not recommended for use.

How long does the Paint Runner last?
The Paint Runner should last at least 12 months with proper use, including correct and timely cleaning as per the instructions. This does depend on the surfaces being painted, if they are continually used on abrasive surfaces this will of course reduce the life span. One tip is to run your hand over the surface to be painted. If it is too rough for your hand, it will be too rough for the Paint Runner.

There is a line where the seam of the roller is.
On first use, the Paint Runner seam is more pronounced and so a line may appear when painting. This will disappear with use as the fabric "beds in". It is also recommended to paint using the “W” method of painting with a roller head. This will assist in painting away the line.

The Paint Runner is heavy when full of paint
The Paint Runner works equally well when full, half full or quarter full. We suggest you fill the Paint Runner to whatever weight you are comfortable with. When using on ceilings, we recommend that you half fill the Paint Runner.
