You roll the paint on and then smooth the surface with the tip of a brush. The brush needs to be dipped lightly in paint. It takes the steeple of the rolling.

There are several good videos and texts on the subject on the net, not to mention many previous threads here which detail the process.

Thanks
I was reading one of the many threads here that mention it but really didn't go into detail. After your posts I went to Youtube and there they are. Doh!!!
And a video is worth a thousand words. Thanks again BOB
