Gloss Paint Roller

It is 30 yrs since I was in decorators college and there is a specific cause for cissing as you describe and I have forgotten it - although it had nothing to do with the roller. Short pile rollers are meant for oil-based gloss, although they should be washed out first to get rid of loose fibres (put them in the washing machine). You can use foam with oil-based, but they deteriorate quicker and the only reason to use them is to apply thin, flatter coats. Another cause of cissing can be chemicals (from general house cleaning or polishing) on your surface. I have occasionally undercoated and come back the next day to find the cleaner has kindly polished my paintwork and my gloss separated as you describe. I would lightly rub over the surface with P120 or 180 grit paper and reundercoat. When you regloss, apply/spread the paint around with a roller but lay it off with a 2" brush.

Yes you need to use a mohair or the finest, smoothest, shortest nap roller you can find. A little experimenting with technique wouldn't hurt either. Often with glossy paint you want to only run the roller or brush in one direction. Not using the back and forth movement that is normally used. Good luck!

Mohair Roller

Yes, I always use a small sponge roller for gloss or satin paint. I quite like the stippled effect it gives you - much nicer than brush streaks anyway. It's no more difficult to clean than a paintbrush. I painted my melamine kitchen units like this a few years ago and the result was very professional.

I tried this the other week and the roller just slid, so ended up getting out the good old fashioned paint brush

Yes you can,but it must be a short pile mohair roller or the sponge type. And don't forget to lay it off with a brush or you will get an orange peel effect
