Rolling Rules

To use screen rollers more efficiently, it is best to make a special device in the form of a machine consisting of two rollers. One roller will contain a rubber stencil, and the second should be smooth, made of porous rubber or rubber sponge. They should be pressed tightly against each other so that they rotate freely.

Before starting work, the roller is wetted in the paint, after which excess paint is wrung out. Next, the roller is inserted into the machine and work begins. After that, the machine is placed with a screen roller to the surface to be painted. In order to apply the decor in a quality manner, a certain pressure should be made by moving the roller along the wall.
