    One other possible problem is if one or both of your rolls are not
    completely flat-- where the metal is squeezed more, it will thin
    more and buckle. Try closing the roller completely then turn it
    while shining a bright light on the meet point (I like those teensy
    lights you can carry on a keychain-- very bright, very local). If
    you see light anywhere at any time, there's your problem. HTH!
