ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a tool for removing air bubbles trapped between overlapping membrane layers. The tool includes a body about which is spaced a plurality of pressure rollers. The pressure rollers have axes of rotation generally perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the body. A drive shaft has a first end attached to the body and extends along the axis of rotation of the body. The second end of the drive shaft provides attachment to a rotating driving source. When pressure is applied to the drive shaft as the drive shaft is made to rotate, the pressure rollers simultaneously engage the surface of a membrane so as to sweep a circular path thereabout. A method of using the tool is also disclosed, wherein the tool is located adjacent a seam where the layers are overlaid and is translated along the seam as the tool is rotated.
