I have painted whole interiors of homes with one sausage diameter 7” roller cover faster then a standard roller cover and come out with an awesome finish.

Anyone else here use that size roller? :whistling2:

A whole interior? Walls, ceilings and all? Faster than a 3/4" 9"? You're joking, right?
I watched a contractor one time painting the interior of a closet with a weenie roller. I took him about 4 hours. I chuckled to myself and thought why would anybody do that?

 

[chipster]

I'm not joking!

 

[ProWallGuy]

I reckon I'd have to see it to believe it.

you were watching a contractor, not a painter!

LMAO.



Are you saying you can roll a house faster with that sausage than YOU can roll a house with a standard 9"? What, are you using 4" nap?
Otherwise, I plain don't believe you.

I believe you did it, I just don't believe it's faster than anyone else. It's interesting though. If you absolutely have to have that finish, then roll on brother.

What if he were 6" tall though, then would it not be faster??

I really don't know, I can't see it being efficient at all time wise. Don't think I will be trying it anytime soon.

Cheers

I think that was my point. Contractor or painter, he was using the WRONG tool for the job. This thread belongs on a rerun of That's Incredible!

Oh, I forgot to mention that when I wash rough-sawn cedar siding, I use the little gem.

Someone at a paint store told me the same thing - I couldn't believe it. Once I saw one of those hometime shows - weekend warrior - and they took doors off the hinges and put them on saw horses - painted them with standard 9" rollers - and then painted the walls with a sausage roller!

I like sausage rollers for painting doors - and backbrushing - and that occasional spot behind a toilet or radiator.

I use the 7” roller for walls and I like to use a 4” roller for ceilings. It creates a nice finish in a timely manner and my arms don't get tired. I only use the artist brush for cutting in, trim, and doors. I always charge T&M using these methods. :thumbup:

I usually use an 18". Covers more area with less movement, easier to control even thickness & tails, and doesn't weigh a noticable difference. :thumbup:

7 " pee/weenie/sasuage/mini roller,your fired!:whistling2:
a cave man would not atempt that madness.:bangin: :stupid: irate: :nerd:
you must really want a t-shirt.

 

[Housepainter]

I suggest a contest.... Where and when can you guys meet. I am sure someone will provide each of you a room to paint off.:gun_bandana::tooth:

 

[ProWallGuy]

Hell, I'll let him come paint my office just so I can watch. Not on T&M though! :no:
Unless of course the hourly rate equals the size of the cover. :yes:
