Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this roller for delivering an exceptionally smooth, mirror-like finish on cabinets, furniture, and trim, with many calling it the best they've used. However, a substantial number report significant lint and fiber shedding that requires delinting before use and sometimes leads to rework. Reviewers also note that results vary based on technique and surface type, with some experiencing skipping or marks if not used with proper pressure and a wet edge. While experienced users swear by it, others feel performance is inconsistent and application instructions are unclear. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the finish quality worth the learning curve.

Good Quality Roller for Shellac Primer
Would RecommendI was looking for a roller to apply shellac primer to a small wood surface and settle the Purdy ¼ inch Nap Smooth Finish. I did research prior and concluded that this product should do a well enough job to apply the shellac. After a light sanding, I applied two coats. I application and the finish came out great, no complaints. Definitely the right roller for the job.
