Talked with an old timer at the supply house yesterday about seam rolling

I was grabbing some tack strip and this guy in his 70s starts telling me how he never uses a heavy roller on seams anymore, just a knee kicker and some heat. He said most guys crush the backing and cause the seam to lift later, and I never thought of it that way. Any of you run into issues with seams that you traced back to rolling too hard?

Buddy of mine had a seam pop up six months later and tracked it to borrowing a heavy roller from a guy.

Did you roll it in sections without overlap, @gavin_reed?
