Why silicone over steel
Silicone won’t transfer oils or mark the welded substrate. For applications where the seam is visible (tarps, flooring, blinds, banners), a silicone roller is the right choice. For sub-flashings and hidden seams under roofing, the steel penny roller is the standard.
FAQs
Why use a silicone roller instead of steel?
Silicone won’t mark or transfer oils to the welded substrate. Steel rollers can leave faint marks on softer PVC or vinyl – silicone gives a clean finish on visible seams.
Does the roller need cleaning?
Yes. Wipe the silicone surface clean after each session with isopropyl alcohol or a damp cloth. Built-up PVC residue will reduce pressure consistency over time.
What size is the roller wheel?
40mm diameter, suitable for most hand welding tasks. The compact size makes it easy to follow curves and detail seams.
