Best rubbers
« 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.

I believe so Daz. I think they`ll be ok.
Ettore hard.

Ettore only do the one grade, don`t they?
I thought it was medium-soft.

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.
