What is the RAVE installation technique?
Installing sleeves (or spool flanges) on rollers is difficult because the sleeve diameter is less than the roller diameter. If you spray RAVE Ultra-Hold hair spray on the end of the roller, the surface remains very slippery while the RAVE is wet, so sleeves will slide on much easier. In about 90 seconds the RAVE will dry and act like a glue that prevents the sleeve from moving. Usually the sleeves are so tight, they will not move easily, but hair spray provides added holding power. If more hold is needed, a few drops of Super Glue under the sleeve will lock it in place. If you need to reposition the sleeve, you can unlock the glue by sliding a small screw driver under it. If you don’t have hair spray, soapy water can be substituted. Heating the sleeves in hot water will temporarily expand them so they slide on easier.
