When I paint with roller everything rolls on nicely for about an hours and then the roller gets smashed down and doesn't really roll well anymore. How do you prevent this from happening. I was using two different rollers and without finishing an entire room the rollers are both smashed down, don't hold paint well, and won't roll properly after this happens. Should I rinse them off and spin them to get them to come back to life?

3/4 nap is waaaaay too much nap for most walls. They tend to get “floppy” because it’s so hard to get paint to saturate evenly thru the nap. 1/2 inch is what you want. Quality is so important. You need Purdy Marathons 1/2” or an equivalent.
In addition, use a roller cage WITHOUT the cheap wires that hold the sleeve in place. They often bend and flex causing damage to the roller sleeve.
