Hey all, im new here *Waves*

Anyway i wonder if anyone could help?

I'm looking for a tool that i once see a guy use while laying some self leveling compound but i've no idea what it is and where to find it, i'll give an explaination the best i can and hopefully one of you could tell me what it is.

It's like a paint roller only made out of Metal with nipples all over it (about 10MM in size) spaced around 20MM appart from each nippel point. The frame and the actuall roller was one part. It fitted onto a paint roller extension handle and he was using it to spread the latex about before troweling it smooth, i'm sure it isn't meant for this purpose but nether the less i'm keen to find out what it is.

Thanks in advance if you are able to help.
