121. 120. Lamb’s wool rollers are recommended for
enamel paint.
F
Rollers are available in two types:
Natural – made with mohair or lambswool; best with oil-based
paints.
Synthetic – made with nylon, polyester, or a combination; best
with water-based paints.
For latex paint, you should use synthetic materials only. For oil-
based or alkyd paints, you can use either synthetic or natural
material. As with brushes, it’s always a good idea to check the
manufacturer's recommendations before purchasing.
Nap (or pile) is the length of the roller's painting surface.
Lengths will vary from 1/16 inch to 1-1/2 inch. If you're
painting a smooth surface, choose a short napped roller. For a
rough surface such as masonry, use a longer nap. Rollers with
textured surfaces are also available for special finishes.
