Purdy White Dove P-X Roller Sleeve - 9" x 3/8" Nap, 1.75" Core

This Purdy White Dove P-X roller sleeve is part of Purdy's Pro Extra core system, built around an oversized 1.75 inch internal core that carries more paint than a standard core sleeve, so you reload less often and cover a wall faster. The White Dove range is woven from Dralon fibre, giving a dense, low lint pile designed for a smooth, professional result.

About This Size

This 9 inch sleeve has a 3/8 inch, short pile nap, ideal for smooth, lined or well prepared plaster where a fine, tight finish matters. It fits any roller frame built for a 9 inch to 18 inch sleeve with a 1.75 inch core, including Purdy's own P-X frames.

How to Use

• Fit the sleeve fully onto a compatible 1.75 inch core roller frame or cage.
• Load the sleeve evenly in a paint tray, working it back and forth so paint soaks into the pile before applying.
• Apply in overlapping W shaped strokes, then finish with light, even passes in one direction for a uniform, low texture coat.
• Wash the sleeve out immediately after use with water for water based paints, or the correct solvent for oil based products, then leave it to dry fully before storing.

FAQs

Does the P-X core fit standard roller frames?
The 1.75 inch P-X core is larger than a standard core, so it needs a frame or cage built for that diameter, such as Purdy's own P-X range. Check your frame's core size before ordering.

Are 9 inch roller sleeves compatible with all rollers?
Only with frames sized for 9 inch sleeves and a matching core diameter. This P-X sleeve will not fit a mini roller frame or a standard core frame, so match the width and core size to your equipment first.

Is a 3/8 inch nap right for gloss or eggshell paints?
Yes, a short 3/8 inch nap is well suited to smoother finishes such as eggshell and satin emulsion, since it leaves minimal stipple texture behind compared with a thicker nap.
