Dunno GF... What are you using it for?
I guess it depends on the thickness (or thinness) you need...
I roll out to a certain size, approx. to when the putty wants to fold on you, then I trim it and continue rolling. It can help to roll on a slight diagonal to the length of putty also... Should become uniform in quick time!
Hope this is of assistance

On some glass if you know the thickness you want use some strips of plastic/wood or whatever that are the correct thiockness..... as a guide for you're rlooing pin/cylinder.
