    I used to, but they don`t last long enough. Switched to foam rollers now.

    We quite often have big areas to prime. Over a 1000sq. When we used pile rollers, after a few hundred metres, the pile would be gone.
    With foam rollers, you can get the whole job out the them.
    Not much difference in price, and I find the easier to use.
    Shame they are so small, when we used pile rollers, you could buy wide ones.
