Tool of the Month


The mini roller is one of our favorite tools because it is extremely versatile. The mini may be used to cut in when base painting, paint panel doors with ease, apply glaze or plaster for a finish, and so much more. When purchasing your mini, make sure you buy one that DOES NOT have the plastic tip. The plastic tip is suppose to keep the paint off of the trim when cutting in, but we have found they do not work as intended. Buy a mini with the nap all the way around so you can paint corners and almost any surface. Another reason why we like the mini is because it holds enough glaze for about a 3' x 4' wall area which is the perfect area to work, given your glaze's open time. They come in various sizes and naps. We prefer the 4” or 6” woven mini for most projects.
