Purdy Paint Roller Frame, Cageless, Polypropylene Handle, 4" Rollers 14A743013

I bought 2 of these rollers and they worked great the first time. I cleaned them as I would any other roller, soap and water, but when I went to use them for another project I could not get either one to roll smoothly.

As with the other reviewer, the roller works great in first use. But after cleaning and drying the next day, the roller was extremely difficult to roll. OK, I must have not cleaned the roller well enough, but a roller should be easy to disassemble, to get it back to its "new" nice rolling performance. This roller is not easy to disassemble. The issues are: * Intricate assembly so paint material can seep into crevasses. * With the intricate assembly, it is difficult to thoroughly clean. * The intricate assembly is extremely difficult to disassemble to clean the parts. All pressed fit type connections make it impossible to fully disassemble. With such a large company, I would have thought that they would have used it a few times. If you buy this product, it is extremely important to thoroughly clean the roller after use. It so happens that I was painting with a non-water soluble material, so cleaning was difficult.
