I also recommend covering the bamboo mat with plastic wrap. this allows the reverse roll (rice on the outside sometimes covered with toasted Sesame seeds) leave about 3/4 of an inch (2cm) of seaweed uncovered as you are going to roll to this.
I recommend starting with a full sheet of seaweed first, but once you get a hang of it use half sheets.
When rolling once you have folded over the wrap, use the bamboo to tighten and form. Your first couple of rolls will not be great, but if comes pretty quickly
I have rolled about 10 times, and each time I get better, I now only use bamboo once I am done to tighten and shape, also be creative I now use Macadamina nuts, terriyaki steak in my ingredient lists. We have what we call the philly cheesesteak roll: steak, cooked onion, and cheese, and the Arbys roll, steak, cheddar and bbq sauce. I am certain you will not find these in your normal Sushi places, and I may get struck down by the Sushi gods for putting it together.
