Tips for Painting with the PaintStick
•
Inspect roller cover for lint before painting. If needed wash before using.
•
When using the PaintStick for the first paint application, it will take most of the
paint in the PaintStick tube to saturate the roller cover.
•
Keep roller moving while pushing inner handle in to prevent dripping.
•
Stop pushing inner handle in if the roller starts to skid or slide.
•
When painting in tight areas partially fill PaintStick. This reduces overall length
of PaintStick.
•
When leaving PaintStick unattended for a longer period of time wrap roller cover
in a plastic bag.
Painting with the PaintStick
1. Hold the PaintStick at a 45° angle and place the fill port over the fill tube (figure A).
Gently push down until it bottoms on the fill tube. DO NOT KEEP PAINTSTICK ON
FILL TUBE FOR LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE AT A TIME.
Note: Make sure the fill tube is opposite from where you are standing when filling
to properly seat the valve. If inner handle is difficult to pull out, hold the
black knob and twist inner handle, then pull.
2. Pull inner handle back to draw paint into handle. Lift PaintStick slowly off fill tube
while holding fill tube securely while tube remains in can (figure B.)
3. Push inner handle to feed paint into the roller cover and start painting. If you are
getting a dot pattern when painting apply more paint. If the roller is sliding apply
less paint (figure C).
Cleaning and Disassembling
Note: If painting with an oil based paint use manufacturer's recommended
cleaning solvent instead of warm water.
1. Return paint to container by placing PaintStick on fill tube and pushing in inner
handle until stick is empty (figure D).
2. Remove paint from roller assembly by holding finger over fill port and pulling
inner handle back. Then return paint back to container (figure E).
3. Remove roller frame by unscrewing nut on end of roller frame (figure F).
4. Insert paint fill tube into Paintstick fill port. Place in warm water and flush fill
tube by pulling inner handle back and pushing forward several times. Remove
fill tube from PaintStick (figure G).
5. Place PaintStick into clean warm water and flush fill port by plugging end of
PaintStick with finger and pulling inner handle back and pushing forward several
times. – For best performance, also clean fill tube (figure H).
6. Remove roller from frame. Pull frame out from inner end cap until a snap
is heard, or lightly tap outside rim of end cap with hammer. Use extreme
caution - do not hit black ring on frame. Optional Method–Use thumbs to
pop off roller cover (figure I).
7. Remove inner end cap from roller cover by inserting the frame at an angle into the
inner end cap about 1". Pull gently towards you to remove cap (figure J).
8. Remove outer end cap from roller cover by inserting the frame inside the roller cover
at a slightly cocked angle. Then gently push to snap off the outer end cap with the
frame. Optional method – Remove outer end cap from roller cover using your
fingers. (figure K).
Storing the PaintStick
Separate inner and outer handles by quickly pulling apart (figure L).
After cleaning roller assembly components lubricate inner handle o-rings,
outer end cap fingers, and inner end cap seal with petroleum jelly. Put a
small amount of petroleum jelly into the fill port (Figure M).

Problem Solution
Handle is difficult to move in and out. Lubricate inner o-rings.
Air is drawn into the PaintStick instead of paint. Slowly push in handle to expel air. Remove and reinsert PaintStick on fill tube. Be sure fill tube is fully seated in
valve body. If necessary apply petroleum jelly to fill tube which makes it easier to seat fill tube and valve body.
Difficult to insert or remove fill tube from fill port. Put petroleum jelly on fill tube.
Paint leaks out end cap. Make sure end caps are flush with end on roller cover. If they are ok, remove end caps and reseal with petroleum jelly.
Paint leaks out of fill port. Lubricate valve port with petroleum jelly. If this doesn't work, replace valve kit (see parts drawing).
