As a roofer you want to sell as many jobs as you can. As a building owner you want to save time and money but most roofing tools you’ve tried just seem to get in your way. They’re flimsy and unreliable, inefficient and messy. It’s frustrating because your reputation (and your bottom line) depends on your ability to get the job done right and on time.
Customized rollers are also available for corrugated metal roofs
All spreaders are gravity-fed and have disposable rollers. All parts are disposable or simple to replace. Tank Spreaders apply any pourable material such as low VOC adhesives and coatings from a tank.

After each use, allow the adhesive to drain from the drain hole. It is best to wipe tank walls and hole edges before the adhesive sets up. Spray all tank surfaces with silicone spray before each use to aid in removal of hardened material.
Distribution ports can be increased with a drill bit. It is best to open the holes in increments of 1/16 at a time and usually only the center most holes.
The 14" Singlewide is best for roofs under 100 squares and in cut up areas with penetrations. The 27" Doublewide is a good balance of maneuverability and productivity. Usually used on projects from 50 squares to 500 squares. The 40" Superwide Tank Spreader offers unmatched productivity, as the operator walks along a 40" (1 Meter) swath of material.
Teflon tape on the wheels protects them from glue and coatings.
These two holes are optional. They are to be used when applying Bonding Adhesive where no running puddle is needed. When applying coating, it is helpful if the end holes are closed to allow the running puddle to diminish toward the ends of the roller.
To ground the BetterSpreader and/or TankSpreader you purchased:
When using a flammable liquid with the Better Spreader, care should be taken to avoid creating a spark. An electric drill should NOT be used with flammable liquids, as the motor may generate a spark. If using a flammable liquid, utilize a non-sparking Beryllium/Copper Scratch Awl to open holes in the pail.
We hope your next project is both safe and profitable.
