I switched from a regular seam roller to a 100-pound floor roller for my last three jobs
The difference in seam visibility is huge, like night and day. On a big glue-down job in a Tampa condo, I used the heavy roller after the initial seam taping. The seams basically disappeared after the adhesive cured, compared to the faint lines I'd sometimes get before. I think the extra weight presses the backing fibers into the glue better. But it's a beast to move around and adds time to the job. Is the perfect seam worth the extra effort and back strain, or is a good enough seam with a lighter tool fine for most clients?

Yeah I read that too, and @kareng27 has a point about it seeming like overkill.

Honestly, I used to think that was overkill.

What made you change your mind? I used to think the same thing until I saw how it actually works. It's not about being extra, it's about getting it right the first time. That little bit of extra effort saves you a ton of trouble later on. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.
