I have a Titan 165 and unfortunatly someone in the shop cut the top roller. Now it leaves little bubbles where the cut is.

Does anyone know of a latex product that I can use to fill the cut? I visited a plastics store and saw a bunch of compounds that might work, but was wondering if any of you had experience with a roller repair. Maybe I am crazy, but I REALLY think "repair" is better than "replace" in this situation..... *gulp*

Devcon make a compound called flexane that is available in various durometer hardness... google ITW or Devcon.

I need to be able to get the stuff to 212 deg. F. I think the goop that you suggested goes to 180 deg F.

Thanksfor the reply!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but...

Our roller also has some very minor cuts on it, not very deep and they don't seem to really affect the quality of the lamination. I was wondering however if it's possible or advisable to take really fine sand paper and give a nice soft, even rub evenly across and around the roller to smooth it out?

The cut we have is more of a divot and about 1/16" deep. Its a crater, and it effects quality pretty adversly. Sanding sounds like it may work for smaller mars in the roller surface, but it may also depend on the pressure sensativity of a given laminate. I am not sure that sanding will work on our roller, and with a thousand dollar price tag, I am not sure that fix will do. I AM thinking of stopping by a plastics shop and talking to them. I will let you know what I find out!
