00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.176
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.176 --> 00:00:05.205
Freedom. This is my LUMITECO application wheel

00:00:05.205 --> 00:00:07.574
roller. I used it to flatten coverings

00:00:07.595 --> 00:00:09.853
and press them into the adhesive underneath.

00:00:09.891 --> 00:00:12.110
It was inexpensive and useful across more

00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:14.222
than one project, and I highly recommend

00:00:14.243 --> 00:00:16.760
it. My rubber-lined storage drawer shows one

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.992
of those jobs. The matching product picture

00:00:19.012 --> 00:00:20.677
shows the polyurethane wheel,

00:00:20.762 --> 00:00:23.002
wooden handle and supporting bracket.

00:00:23.236 --> 00:00:25.307
The wheel provides the rolling contact.

00:00:25.541 --> 00:00:27.493
The handle is where I apply pressure.

00:00:27.653 --> 00:00:29.360
That is a different action from spreading

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:31.664
adhesive or cutting the material to shape.

00:00:31.749 --> 00:00:33.541
The tool helps press the covering against

00:00:33.541 --> 00:00:36.442
the surface underneath. My drawer photograph shows

00:00:36.442 --> 00:00:38.405
the fitted rubber mat inside the timber

00:00:38.405 --> 00:00:40.450
drawer. I cut the mat with scissors

00:00:40.471 --> 00:00:42.690
and cleaned the wood before applying adhesive.

00:00:42.775 --> 00:00:44.418
The lining went down in sections.

00:00:44.609 --> 00:00:47.127
The workshop footage illustrates general measuring and

00:00:47.127 --> 00:00:50.131
holding work alongside my actual build photographs.

00:00:50.233 --> 00:00:52.664
The application sequence matters to understanding the

00:00:52.664 --> 00:00:55.609
roller's role. I sprayed adhesive in sections,

00:00:55.779 --> 00:00:57.401
then pressed the rubber into place with

00:00:57.401 --> 00:00:59.918
the hand roller. The diagram separates the

00:00:59.918 --> 00:01:03.147
prepared surface, adhesive layer and covering.

00:01:03.303 --> 00:01:05.393
Rolling was the pressing stage after those

00:01:05.393 --> 00:01:07.847
surfaces came together. My experience went beyond

00:01:07.911 --> 00:01:09.831
this drawer. I also used the roller

00:01:09.831 --> 00:01:12.305
when laying vinyl flooring and applying sound-deadening

00:01:12.305 --> 00:01:14.375
mat. Whenever I needed to flatten a

00:01:14.375 --> 00:01:16.252
covering and press it into the adhesive

00:01:16.252 --> 00:01:18.109
underneath, it was the tool I reached

00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:20.562
for. That repeated usefulness is why I

00:01:20.562 --> 00:01:23.335
recommend it. The close photograph shows screws

00:01:23.398 --> 00:01:24.892
and flat washers at the edge of

00:01:24.892 --> 00:01:27.153
the rubber lining. Those are separate mechanical

00:01:27.153 --> 00:01:29.329
attachments, rather than the roller itself doing

00:01:29.329 --> 00:01:31.533
the fastening. I repeated the fitting work

00:01:31.533 --> 00:01:33.325
on the sides using shorter pieces of

00:01:33.325 --> 00:01:35.373
mat. The flat base and the sides

00:01:35.373 --> 00:01:38.231
required different access. My page compares two

00:01:38.231 --> 00:01:41.517
researched alternatives. The Dynamat Dynaroller uses a

00:01:41.517 --> 00:01:44.898
rubber contact surface. The FCHO set provides

00:01:44.898 --> 00:01:47.373
metal application rollers in different widths.

00:01:47.415 --> 00:01:49.528
Their matching pictures show those different contact

00:01:49.677 --> 00:01:51.895
areas. My own experience here is with

00:01:51.895 --> 00:01:54.307
the polyurethane-wheel LUMITECO roller.

00:01:54.327 --> 00:01:56.477
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:01:56.477 --> 00:01:59.251
Camper Van Freedom. The LUMITECO roller earned

00:01:59.251 --> 00:02:00.744
its place in my kit by pressing

00:02:00.744 --> 00:02:02.515
coverings into their adhesive,

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.918
including the rubber drawer lining shown here.

00:02:05.037 --> 00:02:07.383

00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:09.176

00:02:09.346 --> 00:02:10.438
Until next time.
