This 2" polyurethane roller has a contoured handle and plated steel frame. This is a far better tool than the plastic rollers found in hardware stores, costing nearly twice as much. It can be used for a couple of different veneer-related jobs.

1. Since the roller frame is double-ended, you can apply heavy pressure on it and get great results when using it to make airtight seams on DIY vacuum bags.
2. It is also an excellent tool to set veneer tape when joining two veneers together.

This tool is not recommended for setting the bond on paper-backed veneer that is adhered with PSA or contact cement. Always use a scraper tool instead for those applications.

Note from Joe
I've heard from a few customers that there are YouTube videos saying that a roller like this should be used with cold press veneer glues (like our X-Press and Ultra-CAT adhesives) to press down the veneer onto the substrate. That is nonsense. Rolling over a veneer like this is a waste of time, and there is nothing to be gained from doing that. Apply the glue correctly, set the veneer on top, and get it in the vacuum bag!
