I use a lot of unger stuff as well, it is all trial and error to find what suits you.

Ettore squeegees and unger strip washers for me,

New liquidator squeegee will be the new standard when it's out though...

That liquidator squeegee is no major inovation if you ask me it's lightweight material with a dogeared channel

It's not meant to be some ground breaking innovation mate, it's just a squeegee channel that works better than every other squeegee out there,

I'm hearing it won't be expensive, it's not a gimmicky thing like the unger ninja range etc, I've been using it for about 3 weeks now, it's a really good work horse of a channel, speeding up my work, but more importantly just means a lot less detailing, which is all I care about really, I hate having to detai loads and getting really wet scrims in the winter etc.

No doubt it will be marketed as some sort of rocket science amazing innovation bla bla, but all you need to know is it works well, it's cheap, and that's it really...
