Roller for uncoupling

Flintstone · Mar 14, 2017

Got a job coming up with 40m of tilemaster crack mat to fit,

Anyone use a roller? I've seen this one, any good? Or stick to grout float?

I have the Karl Dahm roller. It's brilliant and well worth the money.

Only thing is with 1mm crack mats, if you use a roller you must be careful when you turn it, cos it can cause the mat to gather.

Karl Dahm works better - small diameter roller = more point pressure.

I would only use my marshalltown plastering trowel to bed thin crack mats.
Roller is really onlt for Ditra. As Marc says - you can easily ruck and twist crack mats with rollering.
