Abstract
A method of manufacturing paint roller covers is disclosed in which the paint roller covers are manufactured from a seamless, tubular fabric sleeve having at least one of a backing and a pile made at least in part from a low melt fiber or yarn. The seamless, tubular fabric sleeve is placed onto a cylindrical member, and heat is applied to cause the low melt fiber or yarn in the backing and/or looped ends of the pile to be activated to cause the backing of the seamless, tubular fabric sleeve to remain in a cylindrical configuration. A liquid adhesive is then sprayed on to the integrally formed core member of the tubular fabric sleeve to provide a uniform layer thereon and allowed to cure, further enhancing the rigidity of the integrally formed core member of the tubular fabric sleeve.
