Title: What size squeegee
Post by: combat1 on August 29, 2012, 06:18:01 pm

One for the trad guys! what size squeegee do you use for residential windows.
I currently use a 12'' but find that fanning some windows is not possible because the blade is too long to do it well.
Just wondered if 12'' is the usual size of blade most of you use.
Thanks.
