Title: Best rubbers
Post by: DMK115 on January 24, 2011, 04:56:59 pm

Hi everybody, what type of rubber do you use in your squeegees, and does it depend on what the weather is like, eg do you use softer rubber when it's colder and harder when it's warmer?

Thanks,

Dave

Ettore,usually; they are the best, especially this time of year.
But sometimes I`ll use Pulex soft in the summer.

Pulex are generally good, I prefer Unger soft. They are narrower in width than some rubbers and do not project above the channel as much.

ettore soft best by far, more expensive ut will save you the extra pence in time and sharper, how people use pulex i dont no cheap rubbish.

Comon you can earn enough money to buy the best.
