Purdy Colossus Woven Roller Cover, 9 in. x 3/4 in., 3 count

I recently painted all my ceilings with a flat white ceiling paint from Sherwin Williams. Since I had a lot to paint I looked at using the 18" roller system from Purdy. I selected the Colossus cover for my semi rough ceilings but was hesitant after reading the reviews with the lint issue. I noticed on the plastic cover it states that you should wash and wipe the cover before using to minimize the lint. I "washed" the cover before using and was able to remove a significant amount of lint. Once I washed the majority of lint from the roller and drying it a bit, I started painting. I never had an issue with lint and it held and released paint better than I could imagine. Splatter was so minimal that in several sections I didn't even through down a tarp for small areas. I was so pleased that I have shared with several people my experience. I also used a plastic kitchen bag in between stoppages to hold the large 18" size and prevent drying out.

This product in my opinion is the very best. Washes very quickly, holds a mass amount of paint but the only setback is that the 14" only comes in 3/4", would be nice if they had a 1/2".... Other than that, absolutely perfect !!!!
