Heres a little tip for anyone who needs to show operatives why rolling on tape is a good idea. Many people simply apply tapes to a surface then rub their hands across it to make the bond, unfortunately that isnt good enough to get the best from the bond and a roller is the tool you need.

To illustrate that try this simple test: -

Get a strip of sellotape and lay it on any smooth surface, best to use a strip of about 2 feet and make sure the surface isnt going to be damaged by the tape being peeled off later.

It should look a bit like this

Note the fact that it looks the same colour across the length of the strip.

Now smooth down one half with your hand and the other half with a roller, it will look a little like this

Now you can see the difference but if anyone is in any doubt peel the tape off the surface slowly from the hand applied side to the roller applied side.

You should feel the tape peel easy right up until you hit the half way point and the rollered side should be at least twice as hard to remove.

Simple demo but it illustrates the point.
