A ProDec Paint Scuttle is what you want when a roller tray is not enough. It holds far more paint, so you spend less time going back to the tin and more time actually painting. Five sizes are available, from 2.5 litres up to 25 litres.

Every scuttle is made from 100% recycled plastic with a low centre of gravity, so a full one is not easily knocked over. The metal carry handle means you can move it around a job without dropping it, even when it is heavy. Graduated markings run up the inside in both litres and gallons.

Key Features of the ProDec Paint Scuttle

• Made from 100% recycled plastic
• Low centre of gravity, so a full scuttle resists tipping
• Sturdy metal carry handle for safe, easy moving
• Graduated markings in both litres and gallons
• Robust construction that stands up to site work
• Ribbed loading area for even roller loading
• Five sizes from 2.5 litres to 25 litres
• Compatible with ProDec disposable scuttle liners

Where to Use

• Large walls and ceilings needing a full roller
• Emulsion, masonry paint, and trade tubs
• Commercial and contract decorating
• Jobs where you want to mix or box paint before starting
• Mini roller work, using the smaller sizes
• Moving paint around a site safely

How to Use the ProDec Paint Scuttle

1. Stand the scuttle on a level surface, or fit a liner first if you are using one.
2. Pour your paint in, using the graduated markings if you are measuring or boxing.
3. Do not fill above the marked level, as a full scuttle is heavy to lift.
4. Dip the roller in, then roll it on the ribbed area until evenly loaded.
5. Carry it by the metal handle rather than the rim.
6. Wash it out with water or the right solvent as soon as you finish.

Choosing the Right Size

Match the scuttle to your roller. The 2.5 litre takes 4″ mini rollers. The 5 litre takes 4″ and 6″ minis. The 10 litre suits rollers up to 9″ on a cage frame. The 15 litre handles up to 12″ on a double arm frame, and the 25 litre takes up to 15″. Check your frame type as well as the roller width, since the bigger sizes need a double arm frame.

Safety & Restrictions

• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not overfill, as a full 25 litre scuttle is very heavy
• Lift with care and use the metal handle, not the rim
• Never pour leftover paint down the drain. Let it dry out first
• Follow the paint tin’s guidance on solvents when cleaning
