When using the RollePro, do you use water or lay it dry?
I've never used one before, but we occasionally have to lay vinyl over rivets and we normally use a heat gun and squeegee. Then again we don't do vehicle wraps so we don't normally have to go over an entire row of rivets.

I love the RollePro for the most part but sometimes it drives me crazy. I use primarily Avery MPI1105 with DOL 1360z. I occasionally get the flat/burn marks when I get the material a little too warm. But if you don't get it warm enough you won't get a nice roll either. I guess you have to find the perfect in between temperature.
torch and rolley-pro is awesome!!
leave an air channel over 3-4 in a row, heat, then roll.
works great!

here's a link to a video of me from just last week.
pretty much the same as the video above, but here's proof anyone can do it!
the marks left after come out with more heat, or in the sun.
you can see i hit it with the torch quickly and they marks go away, little more heat or sun and they are gone.
technically this is a screw head, so it's larger than a river, rivet should be much smaller.
but lots of people refer to these screws as rivets... i usually do
