Wagner Paint Stick Thingies Any Good?
I like the concept of filling paint in the handle and not having to
continually dip into a tray, but are they any good? - hard to fill? - hard to clean? - leave a good paint surface? - leaks at seals? Thanks - jim |

Thanks - jim I don't have a Wagner brand, just some no-brand stick roller I picked up many years ago, when they first came out. I love it! It works great, has never leaked, there's almost never any drips even when painting ceilings, which is what I bought it for. With the extension pole I can stand on the floor and paint for 15 minutes before I need to refill the roller. It fills easily. I finished the kitchen ceiling (20"x22") in less than an hour. Yes, you still have to finish the edges with a brush, but that's true for any roller. For cleanup you really need to use the tub, or at least it's easier because of the length of the tube, but you just keep forcing water through the tube, and it cleans up fine. The roller cleans like a regular roller. Since mine's an ancient no-brand I can't recommend the Wagner, but I love paint sticks. However, as always, YMMV. Hilary Ditto on Hillary's comments. The roller cleans up much easier thatn most because the interior of the roller is perforated to allow the paint to flow. This makes the warm soapy water flow better as well. I wish that I'd found this long ago. |

In my opinion, nothing Wagner makes is any good.

I have one and loved it until I bought a real lambs wool roller cover and used it. No comparison. I have another brand of paint stick and LOVE it, especially for ceiling work. It cuts the work and time spent by about 80%! I haven't used any Wagner products but absolutely everything I've heard about them has been that they're "Nothing but problems." -- Sex is Evil, Evil is Sin, Sin is Forgiven. Gee, ain't religion GREAT? --------------------------------------------- http://diversify.com Sin-free Website Design |
