A Yes, and we'll give you full instructions for this during your appointment. For styling, fibre is a wonderful medium to work with - unlike real hair, it does what you tell it to!

Is the number of rollers important?

Massage Chair FAQ
It is important, but sometimes hard to get a handle on. Some companies count each individual wheel as a roller, while other companies, the more honest ones, count each individual moving part as a roller. If you have one roller arm with eight tiny wheels, that should be considered one roller, not eight. If a roller count sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Why do rollers shrink?

Böttcher America: Frequently Asked Questions
Sooner or later all rollers change size, but poor shop practices and poor rollers speed up the process, requiring frequent stopping of the presses to make adjustments. In fact, shrinkage is the leading cause of roller resetting. Running with shrunk rollers leads to ink/water balance problems, color variation, and excessive downtime. Shrinkage can be caused by excess heat, usually from the settings being too high (see Roller Settings), from insufficient lubrication, or bad bearings.

How many rollers are required?

Asphalt Institute - FAQs
Contrary to most people's thinking, the number of rollers required for proper compaction is based on the square yardage placed rather than the production or delivery tonnage. Roller speed should be limited to 3 mph. With this speed and the width of the roller, the coverage rate can be calculated. The width of paver pass and speed can give you the square yardage placed. The number of required coverages will then tell you the total area in square yards the roller must be able to cover.

What is the difference between oil-based and water-based paint, and what are the advantages of each?

home painters, painting contractors, home painting
Alkyd, or oil-based paint penetrates wood better than latex (water-based) paint and won't stick when you keep your doors and windows shut for the winter. For the bulk of most jobs, latex (water-based) paint is the better choice. It dries faster, doesn't yellow and can be cleaned up with soap and water when you break for the day. How do I determine the amount of paint I'll need for a particular job under home painting project? The first step is to add the width of all walls in the room together.

Q.: Why are people telling me not to use gritty deglazers on my rollers?

Star Graphic Supplies - Frequently Asked Questions (Page 1)
A.: A young lady running a small 2-color press summed it up better than I could. She said, “My great grandmother used to beat stains out of clothing by smashing it between two rocks. Now we have high tech detergents that do the job much better and easier.” In addition, a printing press roller manufacturer reminded me that no amount of mechanical grinding will remove chemical contaminants from deep within the pores of the rubber.

Q.: How can I eliminate the buildup of calcium on my blanket and in my ink and water rollers?

Star Graphic Supplies - Frequently Asked Questions (Page 1)
A.: The obvious way would be to buy better paper. Since this is not really an option because such a product is not predictably available at any price, let’s take the realistic approach. Since any paper contaminants naturally come from the paper, and since the offset printing blanket is the first contact, a top quality blanket is a must. We have several blankets that appear to be winners in this respect. They provide better release to lessen the amount of calcium transfer.

Why do you use large diameter of rollers?

FAQ Dyno46 Racing Performance
The diameter of the rollers affects the tire contact patch area, which in turn, affects traction and tire deformation. Rollers less than about 33% of tire diameter should be avoided, as they will damage the tire's caucus under sustained high speed/high HP running. So we have chosen the largest diameter possible, considering several factors as material mass density, tire grip and availability.

My rollers are sparking…what is causing that?
