Sorry, I could have sworn I had answered your question. As long as you tap slow and even and don't get waves, you don't need the dolly. As soon as waves start showing, dolly then back flat. Very small waves are unavoidable, it's the taller ones, the ones that are taller than each pass, that one needs to worry about.

It's not so much going slow, one can tap hammer as fast as a spastic woodpecker can tap if they want. The trick is to take it in very small increments and overlap each tap from the last one. With practice, it takes more time to make a single arc cut than it takes to tap the flange to the point of seam sealer.
