    Just fill a gorilla bucket so you rinse your paddle and wash out your spikey with same bucket.

    Bought a 110mm roller last week.., goes through deeper compounds with ease..., ref cleaning..., so much easier than my other rollers..
    If you haven't tried one.., for £30 it's worth trying...

    I do. I just roll it in a tub, then leave it on top of the tub to drip dry. Takes about 3 seconds

    Large Areas like hundreds of m2 I'd have more than one spikey on the go and interchange them One on the go one soaking in the bucket I also use several mixing buckets and keep cleaning them as I go. If possible I set up my hose and gun to blast everything

    Average kitchen I clean everything when I'm finished No problem.

    Hi, I aquired it off a good pal of mine..... I believe they can be bought online, type into google 110mm spike roller, and the company will come up..

    As I said, great bit of kit, especially for the slightly deeper screeds.., also, a doddle to clean..

    Not so much about the depth., but a lot better than my other rollers...and for £30 was well worth the money...

    You can get the fball ones off ebay for £22 delivered. All spike wheels individually rotate instead of the whole roller, dont get on with them ones. Got exact one of the ones RPB has got but didnt realise the whole spikes are fixed instead of individually rotating so havnt used it.

    Proper floorlayers that can screed should not be using rollers

    If your roller does become a bit clogged up try using brick acid/patio cleaner . Leave roller in a tub overnight and rinse off in morning and scrub with hand brush in clean water ... minto !! Not that I've ever let my roller get in a state
