Product Overview The 2″ x 2″ (51 x 51 mm) diameter steel ball bearing roller on our CRL steel flat edge roller is bolted to a steel yoke, and mounted to a contour-grip, completed wood handle. Use it to smooth out level spline or glazing vinyl preceding insertion in the frame. Subsidiary tip for rolling fiberglass screens: Before rolling your spline (with screen wire), into the base of the spline groove on the first pass, utilize this steel flat edge roller tool to first seat the spline into the highest point of the spline groove. When you have finished the whole frame, retreat and utilize your concave edge roller to wrap up the spline with screen wire. This system takes out a portion of the hourglass bow-in of the frame caused by rolling the screen too firmly into the frame.
