Saw a kit in B & Q today of different size paint pads with a tray

Are these any good

I have previously used paint rollers but have gone back to a 4" brush on
textured surfaces as I find I get better coverage and less spray


IME pads are much better than rollers (I've not used a brush for a very long
time).

One useful trick is to dilute your emulsion by mixing in about 1/5 volume of
water in the tray. It makes the paint go on much smoother and (despite going
further) it usually doesn't need an extra coat.
