New Rollers Make Paint Jobs Easier Brightening your home with a new coat of paint is no longer a lengthy and costly process. It s job that can be done easily, and inexpensively, by arming the fam ily with paint rollers and letting them roll their own. Even if new at doing-it-yourself, a family can paint the interior of an average live-room house in a weekend with professional looking results and have fun doing it. A variety of tools are available to meet any home painting prob lem and make the whole job eas ier: , . Paint roller covers made of Dy nel. Union Carbide's acrylic fiber, apply paint smoothly with an even, dripless flow on almost any type of wall surface. Since Dynel covers are remarkably resistant to mois ture, humidity, oils, paint solvents and acids. They last almost indefi nitely if properly cleaned and can be stored between paintings with out fear of deterioration from moths or mildew. A long handled roller facilitates .painting behind radiators, pipes, and similar awkward spots, and ceilings of conventional heights. A light-weight aluminum telescopic handle attached to a regular roller can be used for unusually high ceilings. Floor painting is 'also made easier with a long-handled roller or regular roller attached to an extension handle. Floors of concrete, wood, or linoleum can be roller painted with equal success. There is scarcely anything the roller cannot paint easily and swiftly. Paint may be rolled right over wallpaper, plaster, wallboard, brick, clapboard or concrete. The surface to be painted should be prepared as for any brush or spray painting; clean and free from oil, dust, or foreign matter. ii the surtace is new, a primer coat is necessary. To begin painting, the roller tray. placed conveniently on the floor or table or attached to the ladder top or rung, should be filled half way up its slanted surface. Lin ing the tray with heavy paper or foil will save cleaning and assist in making quick changes of color. Before actually painting each main surface area, a small roller should x used along its edges. The large roller should be loaded by rolling into the "shore line" of the paint in the tray, then back and forth oa the ribbed surface of the tray to remove the excess. Paint shoo Id be applied to the surface with an easy back-and-forth rolling motion, making sure to keep the roller - on the waH without spinning at the end of the stroke, and progressing slowly and C-Jfufly into the previously mmmea eages. When through painting, the roll er cover should be cleaned thor oughly by taking it off the holder, putting it in a plastic bag heavy paper bag and squeezing out the paint. Oil paint should be rinsed in lukewarm water. The cover should be put in a plastic bag to keep it clean until the next time your house needs freshening up with paint.
