1. Surface damage: The sharp needle rollers on the Spike Roller may leave scratches or damage on the surface, especially for soft or sensitive surface materials, such as wood, special coatings, etc. Care is required when using it to avoid irreversible damage to the surface.

3. Difficulty controlling pressure: The working pressure of spike rollers is usually applied by the user. Pressure that is too high may result in excessive compression of the material, while pressure that is too low may not achieve the desired bonding effect. Therefore, the applied pressure needs to be carefully controlled during use.

4. Requires regular cleaning and maintenance: Spike rollers can easily become clogged with residue from paint, glue or other materials during use. This may affect its proper operation and longevity and will require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure its performance and functionality.

5. Not suitable for special materials and applications: Spiked rollers are usually used for general coating and adhesive applications and may not be suitable for some special materials or application scenarios. For example, certain fine coatings, special coatings, or processing of special materials may require the use of other special tools or methods.

In summary, although spike rollers have certain advantages in terms of surface preparation and material bonding, there are also some disadvantages that need to be considered. May cause surface damage, difficulty handling curved surfaces and details, difficulty controlling applied pressure, requires regular cleaning and maintenance, and may not be suitable for specialty materials and applications. When using spike rollers, you need to consider the specific situation and select the appropriate tools and techniques to achieve the desired results.
