molded edge triple duro?
« on: May 09, 2016, 09:15:15 AM »
does anyone make a molded triple duro squeegee?

it's time to replace our rubber and I was told that the molded edge squeegees will stay sharper for longer.

Don't know about that specifically, but I used Pleiger solvent squeegees.  These hold up to cleaning chemistry longer and do not soften which is what causes a squeegee to dull.  Xenon sells this for $1.35 per inch.

Call Saati. I have their red double bevel molded single duro. Not sure if they have a triple duro molded though.

molded edge stuff we had was not really sharp. It would be OK for spot colors, but we would not use it for anything with halftones. . .
