ApplicationQuestion 49 of 100
For a heavily textured surface such as rough stucco, which roller nap is most appropriate?
a.1/4 inch
b.3/16 inch
c.A long nap (about 3/4 to 1-1/4 inch)
d.A foam roller
Explanation
Long-nap rollers reach into the deep texture of rough stucco or masonry so paint fills the profile and covers evenly. A short nap would skip over low spots and leave voids. The rougher the surface, the longer the nap needed.
