Hi

I've seen these mini rollers with a foam sleeve for gloss paint.

How do they work in practice? Any good?

The way I have used them, especially for hall stairs & landing,
which means lots of flush doors and plain skirting, is to apply
the paint with the roller, get it spread evenly, but use a brush
for the finishing strokes. I certainly found this faster than all
brushwork, but still gave a good finish.
