Use either, and Home depot has rollers, we use them for re-doing countertops at work

I doubt you could say one or the other is much better, either would be good

I went to home depo last night try to look for it no luck ask couple guys they sayed they had no clue what I was talking about . What would it be called if I was going to look for it at lowes or home depo again?

They are hard to find if your looking at Lowes or HD. Wood is BY FAR the roller to use.

This would probably work, but a wooden one would be stronger.

I also use the butt of a utility knife for 80% of it as well For the rest i use a big ole deep socket tat works awesome also.

Oh and they arent hard to find at all, Any hardware store will have them as well as any wood working or craft store. They are called J rollers and are used for many things but mostly lamination and vaneer working. Rubber is best since it has a bit of give and wont roll a crease or cut the backing or whatever surface your working on...
