Question Squeegee issues.

Actually, our experience is the opposite. We could never get the plastic ones to work well. They were too flexible and applied uneven pressure. With the aluminum ones, all our problems have vanished.

 

using an old 26" pvc squeegee with black felt today with one arm. wife is holding taped graphic for me as i broke my left arm 3 weeks ago. squeegee working like a champ

 

Look up Yello Tools Timber Max. I can apply 4'x8' sheets by myself just hinge in the center.

 

Is your work table perfectly flat? If not, that may be why you preferred the plastic ones. I also preferred the plastic ones because the flexibility seemed to make up for the imperfections in the work table. The aluminum squeegees are technically much better, but ONLY if you have a perfectly flat work surface, IMO.

 

Sorry, you could not get in touch with me. I don't know what the problem is with my phone. I get calls everyday with no problems that I know about.

The good news is that plastic is back. Well, it is not the same as the original but it is extruded the same way as the aluminum. We just got it in a couple of days ago so I'm still sorting through its capabilities. It is much more flexible than the original tools though but you can attach stuff to it the same as the aluminum ones. I'll be putting them up in the website later this week or early next week. So far i'm having some issues with the edges not being straight enough which can be expected of extruded plastic. I will have to set up for machining the edges to make them straight so I'm not quite ready to offer them for sale.
