If you’re not cleaning your paint roller after every use the paint will cake up on the roller frame. To maintain a clean roller frame attach painter’s tape to the roller frame. After you finish painting, peel the tape off and discard. Loose lint will often come off in paint when using a new roller sleeve. To prevent this, mist the sleeve with water before the first use and then roll off the excess water before painting.
