Just used for the first time, i used a 15mm roller and 12mm corkball
The skin on some or most of them seems very thin, anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Personally I try to aim for a 2mm skin so ideally you would need 11mm corkballs... strangely enough only supplied by CC Moores. You might best away with 10mm's if you don't need them for chods etc.

Need them to hold up a size 4 ronnie ideally
Yeah i though 11mm would be better but not sure how buoyant thet would be

As a work around you could try mixing a small amount of pop up mix in with your base mix to add some buoyancy to the paste

I use 11mm cork balls with a 15mm cc moore cork ball roller and they work out fine. Take a BB shot (4g) to balance a size 5 on a multi rig.

That's a good shout, how much would you think 10%?

Depends on the mix, start at 10% and try it with the rig and if need be add a touch more to suit. Obviously it will affect the colour of the finish bait to so that needs to be accounted for too. I've done it in the past and it seems to work out okay

Ok, maybe worth experimenting first then, bit annoying as i emailed them to ask what tize to use and they said 12mm corkballs so i bought a load!

12mm is the recommended size for 15mm cork balls, but you have to ensure you get the cork exactly in the centre of the paste, otherwise it will cook unevenly and blister. I only use 11mm corks because the 12mm was too buoyant for what i wanted.
