ooievaar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Been looking around the forum, cant really find anything about this. What are youre favorite ways to make rollerpieces? Long rollersticks, hanging over the edge, brushes/rollers. What do you use for outlines, size, type of emulsion. Some nice or original use of techniques and maybe examples of your or other peoples work to illustrate??? Funny stories, do and donts? Whats the 101 on rollerpiecing? I myyself prefer to use long extendible rollerstick (up to 10 metres) latex emulsion, furroller for the filling, wait some time and outline with acrylic latex (fastdrying and covers in 1 time) Also this doesnt reliquify the previous paintlayer. Tryed hanging over a couple of times, just gives me muscle ace for a week. Maybe i need to work on my sixpack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8er6 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 so, is there already a roller thread or what? i thought this thread might actually have some potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androidx Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Agreed, but the guy started it the wrong way. Someone should start a legit roller thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er6 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 besisdes the title, how so? how should he have started it? i have quite a bit of bucket paint that i find behind dumpsters. i used to use it for fills, but now im thinking of doing a roller, but i need the basics.

vgacrew Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 do you mix your paint with water for the fillins of LARGE roller pieces to save on paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skag Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Depends on the paints base, if its water based or latex based and so on. Using bucket paint for fillson throws can be interesting and look fucking cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMASHTHAT Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I've yet to experiment with a roller piece but have always envied them... I have questions, no doubt: 1]. Latex paint. does it work for roll-ups? 2]. ....who me? 3]. Is it necessary to lay down a layer, then let it dry, and lay down another one, or can i just chunk up a color on top of a non-dry and go?

ruckus101 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 latex paint is good cuz it is durable, and it sticks fast, but you need to know what type of wall you are gonna do it on. a wall that has been buffed will be much easier to roll on then a wall that has never been touched. and yea, the latex paint is great if mixed with a little bit of water.

johnneh7 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 ive seen one that you put it in the shaft of the roller, but not the head. the ones i've seen break easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
