I think it creates a more even pressure than a metal roller would - boards
are not 100% flat.
Maybe the roller from a printer fuser would stand up to the temperature?

I gather there are silicone hoses sold in large diameters as well, it
ought to be easier to slip one of these over a metal roller than trying to
coat one yourself with high temp RTV silicone.
