I think this refers to rolling out a wall and letting it set up a little and rolling it out again before it is dry. By allowing the paint to set a bit and going back over it with a saturated roller it will cover and save a little time. I would not recommend this as a "quality" system. It makes heavy stiple. Apartment repaints maybe.
I went to the web site for this double roller and found it is for spraypainting. Looks interesting but I don't think it was what I had in mind. Actually, an old time painter mentioned it as some sort of wonderful level of achievement that comes with years of experience.

I "double roll" oil enamel on something like porches. Can't think of any other application where you would want to for a quality finish.

We're just becoming Wooster distributors (who are the new reps for this)... I've never seen one in action and was just introduced to it... I'm told that you can knock out a bunch of area with it... it was invented by guys like you guys...
They don't paint anymore... lol

Wolverine... I've been sitting here trying to think of a reason why anyone I know or myself whould need a roller setup like that. I can't come up with one. Even if I had a job with a large or rather HUGE wall area, I can't see using it. Plus some people have a hard enough time with one roller. Never mind 2 on the same pole. lol
If anyone buys it, let us know how it works. I for one would like to know. Did it do a good job, save time and so on.

Double Roll: It is a way of saying you put 2 coats on. Just roll the first coat and go right back over it with the second coat. You double rolled it and you put the two coats of paint on you charged the customer for.
I wouldn't do it. But I do know people that have. They say it's two coats, But is it? If you ask me and from what I see others posting the answer is, No. It's just one heavy coat that looks like, well you know.
I just got an idea, We can tripple roll! Tint the primer to the same color, prime the walls, then two coats of finish paint. Just think of the time saved by doing it that way!!
(Sorry I couldn't help it, I had to post it. As dumb as it sounds. )
