Quick Tips:

• 12mm or 15mm?
  • 12mm feels more responsive and gives slightly higher working pressure, making it easier to work air out in smaller or tighter areas
  • 15mm rolls more smoothly and is easier to use over larger flat sections
• A 15mm roller has a slightly larger contact area with the laminate, which is why it feels smoother to use. Final choice often comes down to personal preference and what feels best in your hand.
• Works well on chopped strand mat and woven cloth
• Start in the middle of the laminate and work outwards to push air to the edges
• Use steady, medium pressure as you roll – it’s all in the wrist
