Sadly thats pretty common:( If you used a laser pointer temperature gun available from harbor freight 40 bucks you will likely find a cooler area on the roller. Those heater lamps dont necessarily put out the same temp all along their length. If you use the heat gun you can sometimes flip a heater lamp to improve things. In addition theres a screw on each top rollers end that sets roller pressure, sometimes you can increase the pressure a 1/2 turn to improve sealing on one end. Take a look at the wires and screws connecting the power lines to the lamp, if they get toasted looking it can cause poor heating... Hope this helps, bob
