Paint Extension Pole Guide

Make certain your paint roller contains evenly distributed paint whenever you saturate your roller. If you are using an extension pole, less paint enables the pole become less top-heavy. Proper procedure simplifies painting. You will have less drips greater results if you load the paint roller lightly. Dry rolling can create patchiness and leave an unequal finish.



Start painting at the base and move upwards along the wall. This will likely simplify using the extension and reduce the need to adjust the extension length. The flexibility of painting with the pole at a range of extensions makes any job easier.

Holding the pole effectively can make the entire process simpler. When working a entirely extended pole, hold it by the center extension for optimum control. Grasp it near the final section where the midsection segment connects to the lower part of the pole. This control grip allows better delivery and places less strain on the higher extensions. When elevating and lowering the extension pole, use both your hands for smooth control.

Be mindful each time you are loading the paint roller that you don’t press too vigorously. Guide the roller smoothly allowing it to do the majority of the work for you.

During the paint loading procedure with an extension pole, hold the final portion near the roller and the midsection as close to the lower section that you can reach. This system enables you to manifest extension support during the paint loading process.

Hold the pole upright with maximal extension until you transfer it to your painting area. Grip the center and bottom pole as close to the top of each portion as possible to find the best control. Cautiously lean the pole close to the surface to begin painting once you're positioned close to the wall.

When the roller makes connection with the wall, you can adjust your grip and step back from the wall to start painting comfortably. Grip the pole in the center pole and the bottom part while painting for better control. The extension pole may be too top or bottom-heavy if you use it incorrectly. Confirm correct placement for the best result.

Securing and loosening the chuck or the collet locking mechanism is easy. Conveniently hold the rod beneath the collet and lock or unlock the extension piece you want to slide. Modify the chuck till the sliding pole ceases moving. After you tighten the chuck, try to slide the pole even further to see if it stays in place. Over-tightening the chuck will cause pole problems. Be mindful when you are adjusting.

Keep the poles tidy from paint or products which can hinder the slide. If any paint should get onto the pole, wash it off before it dries and hardens. Have a paint thinner cloth in the area for oil-based cleaning and a wet rag to handle any latex cleanup. Just before you adjust the pole, make sure no paint thinner or water is residing in the collet and the chuck. For simple storage, collapse the extension to its smallest size. Unite your extension pole with a standard length paint handle roller for maximum results. A long-handled paint roller is not recommended to be used with the extension pole.



The extension pole is really a advantageous investment. It is going to assist you for a variety of projects and can be reused for a long time.
