It is much better to apply stain to surfaces the proper way the first time around. The results you achieve may be unsatisfactory with the wrong roller brush or applicator, or if the application is done without proper care. Redoing the application can cost you unnecessary time and money. If you lack the proper tools, you can end up with a mess. For this reason, many painters use a lambswool applicator to get the job done right. At Pro Roller Company, Inc., we are your source for the high quality lambswool applicator you need for exceptional results.
It is certainly possible to quickly clean and dry a lambswool applicator. One way this can be done is to place the wet lambswool roller cover into a Ziplock bag. Then, squeeze the bag to remove excess air. This results in a roller ready to use for a number of days. The same process is applicable for cleaning and drying a lambswool pad.
Let’s look more closely at the use and cleaning of a lambswool stain applicator.
Using a Lambswool Stain Applicator
In order to use a lambswool stain applicator, it is first necessary to eliminate extraneous fibers from the applicator. Then, after submerging the pad in the stain, start applying to the desired surface, working on small areas at a time. Leave the stain on the surface for 5 to 15 minutes to achieve sufficient penetration. Then, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface, first across the grain, then with the grain.
Cleaning a Lambswool Stain Applicator Pad
You can clean a lambswool stain applicator pad with paint thinner or mineral spirits. Rinse the applicator pad in paint thinner. In between rinses (about 2 to 3 times), extract as much of the paint thinner as you can. After the last rinse and squeeze, wrap the applicator in tin foil or a plastic bag.
A lambskin applicator of sufficient quality will provide a level of absorbency that makes repeated dipping of the applicator for more stain unnecessary in order to achieve the required application. With our lambswool applicator, you can stain surfaces with exceptional speed and quality, and then quickly clean and dry the applicator for future use.
