8、any more paint,nor apply any more paint to the area beingused for break-in.4.Significance and Use4.1 Until a paint-roller cover is saturated with paint,onlypart of the paint loaded onto the paint-roller cover can betransferred to a surface being painted.The remainder of thepaint is absorbed into the
9、 fabric of the paint-roller cover.Theamount of paint absorbed by a paint-roller cover is inverselyproportional to the amount already present within the paint-roller cover.By saturating the paint-roller cover before testing,quantitative inaccuracies of the amount of paint delivered to asurface are el
