So I finally tried that seam roller my buddy swore by for years

Honestly, I always thought it was just an extra step for people with too much time. Tbh, I've been using my knee kicker and a towel for seams for like eight years now. But I picked up a cheap one from Harbor Freight last month for a big commercial job in a hotel lobby. Ngl, after rolling out a 40-foot seam on that Berber, the difference was crazy. The seam just melted together way cleaner than my old method ever got it. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed it saves them time on the back end with fewer callbacks?

Nah I'm still not convinced honestly. My old method works fine and I've only had like two callbacks in the last decade. Seems like another thing to clean and store plus I bet half the guys buying them will forget to use it after a month anyway.

Ever feel dumb for putting off a tool that long? I was the same with knee pads, swore I didn't need them. That first full day without aching knees proved me totally wrong.

Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way. I kept skipping safety glasses for quick cuts, telling myself it was fine. Then a piece of wood dust flew right into my eye and I was done for the day. That kind of pain is a fast teacher, isn't it?
