An economy 9-inch knitted polyester roller cover from Wooster's Golden Flo line, designed to push paint into texture and reach valleys on rougher substrates. Good paint capacity for the price and minimal shedding compared with budget-bin covers.

• Roller width: 9"
• Nap: 3/4"
• Knitted polyester fabric - holds and releases paint without matting
• Polypropylene core resists water swelling on long jobs
• Compatible with all latex, oil-based paints, stains, and primers
• Best for: rough or textured surfaces - heavy knockdown and orange-peel walls, popcorn ceilings, fence boards, rough siding, and concrete block

Tip: Load the cover heavier than you would a short-nap roller and roll slowly to work paint into the texture - the longer fibers hold more paint but release it more slowly than a smooth-surface cover.
