Purdy Marathon Jumbo Mini Roller Sleeve - 4.5 Inch x 3/8 Inch Nap

The Purdy Marathon range is one of Purdy's original roller cover lines, made from an exclusive blend of nylon and polyester fibres for durable, consistent performance. This jumbo mini roller brings the same trusted Marathon fabric to a smaller format, sized for trim, doors, cupboards, fence panels and other compact areas where a full size 9 inch roller is too bulky to control.

At 4.5 inches long with a 3/8 inch nap on a jumbo mini core, this sleeve uses the same knit fabric as Purdy's full size roller covers, so you get the same paint pick up and release, the same resistance to matting, and the same low lint finish, just scaled down for smaller jobs and tighter spaces.

How to Use

• Fit the sleeve onto a 4.5 inch jumbo mini roller frame.
• Load the sleeve in a mini roller tray, rolling it through the paint until evenly covered.
• Work in a small W pattern on flat panels, doors or fencing, then fill in with light even strokes.
• Reload frequently since the mini roller holds less paint than a full size sleeve.
• Rinse with water for water based paint or the correct solvent for oil based paint, then dry before storing.
