How Does a Paint Roller Work?
The Paint Roller Paint rollers make large tasks easy and quick. There are large paint rollers, small paint rollers, short-handled ones and long-handled ones. Each paint roller works for different types of jobs requiring lots of paint in big areas. The shape of a paint roller is often cylindrical, with a fibrous material coating. This cylindrical roll is placed on a long or short handle that when pushed, rolls paint onto a flat surface. The fibrous material picks up large quantities of paint from a paint roller tray. The roller is dipped into the main area of the tray where the most paint is held and rolled backwards to smooth out bumps and to coat the whole roller in paint. This is then applied to the surface needing paint. History of the Paint Roller Norman Breakey created the first paint roller around 1940 in its most basic form. He could not make enough of his first paint roller to make a profit or sell it in large quantities before others came in to claim the invention as their own
