Car Builders Sound Deadener Application Roller, Timber Wheel

What problems does the Car Builders Sound Deadener Application Roller fix?

• Deadener lifting or bubbling after a few weeks. Rolling every sheet down makes sure the whole product is stuck down and touching the panel, not just the edges.
• Torn foil and marks from cheap rollers. The radiused wheel avoids the marks and tears you often get from square edged urethane wheels.
• Getting into floor pan ribs and odd shapes. The handle doubles as a convex tool, so you can work the product into irregular shapes.

How it works

You press the wheel over the product with firm, even pressure. The sealed bearing keeps the wheel turning smoothly while the radiused edge rides over the foil without cutting it. Use the handle end to push material into corrugations and tight corners.

What is in the box

• 1 x Car Builders Application Roller

How much do I need?

One roller does the whole car. Keep it in the tool box for the next peel and stick job.

Will it fit my vehicle?

It is a hand tool, so there is nothing to fit to the vehicle. Use it on any peel and stick product: deadener mats, foam insulation and foil tape.

How to install

Difficulty: Easy.

1. Clean the panel first with a surface prep cleaner such as Car Builders SoPro, or wax and grease remover.
2. Peel off the backing and lay the product on without stretching it.
3. Roll it down firmly across the whole piece so every part makes contact with the panel.
4. Use the handle end to work the product into ribs, curves and tight shapes, then roll the flat areas again.

Mistakes to avoid

• Only rolling the edges and leaving air pockets in the middle.
• Using a square edged plastic roller that tears the foil.
• Skipping the surface clean, as no amount of rolling fixes a greasy panel.

FAQ

Why do I need a roller for sound deadener?

Pressing by hand leaves gaps. Car Builders say the roller guarantees the product is stuck down and making contact with the surface, which is what stops it lifting.

Will it tear the foil on my deadener?

The wheel edge is radiused to avoid marks and tearing, the problem Car Builders see with cheaper square edged urethane wheels.

What is the handle shaped like that for?

It doubles as a convex tool so you can form the product into irregular shapes such as floor pan ribs.

Is it in the install kit as well?

Yes. The Car Builders Sound Deadener Install Kit includes this roller with a utility knife and foil tape.
