An economy 9-inch knitted polyester roller cover from Wooster's Golden Flo line, designed to lay down a smooth, even film on flat and lightly textured surfaces. Good paint capacity for the price and minimal shedding compared with budget-bin covers.

• Roller width: 9"
• Nap: 3/8"
• 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: the everyday workhorse nap - smooth-to-lightly-textured drywall, plaster, paneling, and most interior walls and ceilings

Tip: For the smoothest finish, prime the cover by wetting it with water (for latex) or thinner (for oil), spinning out the excess, and rolling off the first load on a scrap surface before going to the wall.
