Title: Warning- iv bought DUFF unger rubber
Post by: bobby p on June 18, 2012, 07:13:15 pm
iv bought several multi packs of 10 of 42inch lengths of Unger soft rubber and at least 2 of these packs are duff .  they leave lines from the start
   i bought these from www.soapnational.co.uk   on his special deal price and im going to fire off an email to the guvnor see what he has to say
  
 i know it cant be down to  me as they are still in their original packets ,i put a small slit in the packet and have just dragged out a rubber length one at a time from there .

Had the same when I bought a load from supplier.
The rubber had different widths from one end to the other I even contacted unger because i thought it was fake.

I bought at least one of those 42" multi packs from soapnational, haven't had a problem, so maybe you got a dud batch?

Was going to start post on this too.Noticed this on an unger soft I was given from KS Cleaning,it was new but unusable,If you run your finger along its like the edge is serrated/cut incorrectly.

Thing is exact same thing happened with a length of pulex,so its not just unger.

And if their all made from the same manufacturer they need to know about it.

Got a good result---

took a journey drive back to see the guvnor at Soapnational and he had a go with the rubber in his  new squeegee ,squeegeeing his shop window and he agreed it was useless rubber

good guy he is-   gave me and my mate a few nice free goodies AND a refund and i got some pulex rubber that seems good so far
