Purdy140624010 Jumbo Mini White Dove Roller Replacements, 2-Pack, 4-1/2 inch x 1/4 inch nap

Purdy products makes the painting easy

works great

I have used many different paint rollers from 9-18". This Purdy 1.75" core is excelent when pared with there white dove roller cover. What I like is to be able to paint with what equals to a 12 inch roller as far as paint coverage, with the compact size of a 9 inch roller. Some have complained of squeaking noise from roller frame after using several times. Here is a solution to that problem, before using the roller add a small amount of liqued dish soap to each end where the yellow roller cage contacts the aluminum tube. Spin the cage and allow the soap to enter and run down inside along the aluminum tube. You can use it right away, but best to let sit a day or two allowing the dish soap to harden. This will lubricate the bearings and will not effect your paint in any way. This will last for along time, also here is a tip for cleaning your roller. If you have a yard and a garden hose with any type of adjustable spray nozzle, first wet the grass around an 8 to 10 foot area, and lay the roller down on a short piece of wood or any thing that will raise the roller up off of the ground. Leave your extention pole in the roller and put one foot on the pole to secure it. Direct the stream of water onto the roller to first saturate it, then aim the stream to the very top and move the stream across the top of the roller, and it will begin to spin very fast. Sometimes you will get sorayed but not much, then direct water to the bottom and reverse the spin working the stream across the bottom. Work from end to end and repeat this whole process several times. On the last pass let the stream of water move off the end of the roller. That's it your roller cover should be clean and almost dry, and ready to be reused.

Purdy paint products have the best roller covers

I bought these at two separate times The 1st order was a high quality roller cover with a closed rounded end. The 2nd order rollers were open on the ends and the quality wasn’t the same! Almost like a knock off in Purdy package!

The quality of these rollers is unbeatable. I bought a cheaper brand and regretted it as the rollers disintegrated into the paint. It was a mess and way more steps. I bought these and the quality was a million times better. I wish I would’ve saved myself the hassle and bought these from the beginning because they give you the best value for your money. The functionality of them is endless. You could use them for so many projects.

Excellent, better finish than any foam roller.

I have just started painting the exterior of my house. I have used 3/8 nap in the past and decided to try the 1/2 nap. I have divided my house into 8 sections and have completed 3 at this point. I love these Purdy roller covers. These covers apply the paint evenly and because you can load up more paint than lesser naps more of the wall is painted. Less time rolling paint. Because these covers hold more paint than other covers, I use a multi-tool which has a curved edge to scrape off paint at the end of the day. Quite a savings!!UPDATE 11/10/2016I have finished painting my house. These covers were great. Actually I used only one of these covers because they are well made and I took time to care for the one I used between paint sessions - once a week usually. This cover is the 1/2 inch nap. It held up well and is ready for the next job. I took care of it by thoroughly washing it and then wrapping it in layers of paper towels. Once finished, I stood the cover on its circular end to ensure its round shape. There were a few times when I knew I'd be painting the next day or for 2 or 3 consecutive days. Then I would wrap the cover in wax paper and then Saran Wrap and store the cover in the refrigerator overnight - again standing it on its circular end so the cover would not have a flat part. Time saver!! The cover was ready to go the next morning..I highly recommend Purdy covers with 1/2 nap.
