How deep max..?

Thicker the mix, slower you need to use roller, otherwise it picks up the leveller behind it as you move roller.

Less than the length of the spikes
How deep do you wanna go?

They are good tho, very useful for blending each pour into each other as long as you keep a wet edge.

What's the ideal size to get ?

 

[Dumbo]

Personally the biggest one you can use in the space. I have one about 450 long and one about 600 with longer spikes

Yes all the time when leveling pulls all the air out and makes it nice a flat only time I don’t use one is when it’s a tiny floor

I have been using spiked rollers for a long time, i used to buy
them from a company called Refina. They are now available
everywhere

Spoilt for choice on pro tiler tools...

What size spike 11mm or 21mm....?

 

[Just Rizzle]

i have 3 a fine one a medium spiked one and a long spiked one. i have A RUBY double mixer ideal forgetting a creamy smooth mix.
with out a spicker you wont get a true level floor. use it mainly for prepping floors for lvt.
the best leveler for me is the tilemaster level 30 rapid can tile on it in 90 mins

 

[Boggs]

I have a 500mm long with 21mm spikes attached to a telescopic handle.
I find it covers me for all situations.

Edit: The one from Pro Tiler

 

[hmtiling]

The 28mm profi ones are the best I've used

get them both

 

[Andy Allen]

Just placed an order with protiler tools...!

 

[Dumbo]

To be honest I wouldn't bother with 11mm , also as @Boggs said get one of those telescopic decorators poles

 

[Sean Kelly]

I was told by the rep not to use spikes on BAL level Max as it pulls the fibres to the surface.

 

[Andy Allen]

Going to use it on the tilemaster fine flow 3000 I have ordered to try...

 

[Glynn]

Long spikes for me. What spikes a lot spikes a little.

 

[Cranbrook]

I cant remember who, but didnt someone on here mention removing some of the spikes for a better finish?

 

[Dumbo]

That was me , it's only really for if you're doing a deep pour as it limits a bow wave effect you can have , on a normal pour it make a no difference

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I think it was me!
But as I’ve never used one ( except when I’am baking) possibly it wasn’t.
Or was it Spaticus?
