Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a paint roller cover, comprising: temporarily securing a segment of bonding material onto an outer surface of a hollow cylindrical forming tube having a first outer diameter and an inner surface having a first inner diameter; placing a segment of tubular paint roller fabric having a first end and a second end onto the outer surface of the cylindrical forming tube over the segment of bonding material thereupon; applying heat to the inner surface of the cylindrical forming tube at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time that are sufficient to cause the bonding material to bond to the interior of the segment of tubular paint roller cover fabric; and cooling the bonding material that is bonded to the segment of tubular paint roller cover fabric for a second period of time that is sufficient to cause the bonding material to become semi-rigid, the segment of tubular paint roller cover fabric being secured to the bonding material to produce a semi-rigid paint roller cover segment.
