Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
I am looking for a roller cover that does not shed. I have tried many brands and I may be happy with one for a while then it seems I will get a case that is full of covers loosing thier winter coats. What do you experts recommend? Not too concerned about brand. If you order them please include a website or phone number where they can be ordered.
Thank you. Jim Bunton |

Re: Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
I haven't found one that doesn't shed. I just stick by the tape method. If you're using latex you can do the tape method to remove most of them, and then give it a quick spin with the water hose before you use it. That will help some too...

Re: Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
That is what I try and do but sometimes I get rushed ( forget) I am willing to pay to skip that step. The water hose is ok on exteriors in the summer
not so convenient in the winter. Jim Bunton |

Re: Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
I personally like SW's contractor series...the white "soft woven one's"...I have never seen them shed, plus they are reasonably priced. (Just bought a case) I also like Purdy's white dove covers. They are nice as well.
here's a link, I would try the sw contractor one's personally, they are awesome-pick one up, you'll love it http://www.sherwin-williams.com/pro/...nt_rollers.jsp

Use them for the first coat, you pole sand anyway,
quick rinse it and it should be fine now

Re: Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
Just out of curiousity what type of paint do you use? Personally I use primarily BM topline with the white 15mm Nour sleeves... To tell you the truth, I can't remember the last time I had any shed issues, I think in my case its the paint...

Re: Tired Of Roller Covers Shedding Like Dogs!
I had a cold call from a company called Colorado Hide Company they asked if I would like to try their product, So for the $52.00 plus shipping I bought a case of 1 1/2 lambs wool skins. Well I have been using them for the past three years now and I think we have about 6 left. I haven't had any problems with shedding, I found their address it's Colorado Hide Inc. 22805-A Savi Ranch Parkway Yorba Linda, CA 92887 check them out.
