18" Roller Set Up


I have been using the 18" roller set up by Wooster. The bucket is called a "wide boy". Any thoughts on using an 18" roller set up? If you do, what brand like Wooster or Sherwin William brands do you prefer??

Thanks

Sal

Re: 18" Roller Set Up


18" is the best all day long. it will make your arms strong after a 12 hour day.

wooster frames are the best - you can use any 18" sleeve, its the painter that makes it look good not the roller sleeve. Make sure you "freak it out" - Cleveland painting term for using masking tape to pull all the loose hairs off of a cheap roller sleeve.

Re: 18" Roller Set Up


I have not had good luck with this style frame:

...in fact, I've had bad enough luck with several, that I wouldn't use them again nor could I recommend or suggest them

This kind seems just fine:


However, my new favorite is The Hulk:



I was worried about the plastic clips, but so far so good
