squeegee racks

[screenxpress]

Anyone care to share a pic of your DIY racks to hold squeegees?

[JayzTeez]

I made this with just a 2x4 and a couple of dowel rods.

I thought that it is better not to have squeegees sit on the blades all the time, that it is better to keep them upside-down (Blades up).

[Frog]

I would certainly put my squeegees in the other way around, handle first
I find one of the big advantages is to not have to clean them if the same color will be soon used again.

At any rate, that looks just like my last DIY rack.

we are going to build one (some day)  when we do it will look a lot like a 2x4 ripped up the center bored out to accept  1/2 PVC pipe glued in with Gorilla glue...should be bomb proof.
estimated price less than $5.00 for everything.
PS we like Gorilla glue cuz it expands to fill any gaps / slop or Sam Adams induced clearances

Do yours sit almost flat?

I've found, especially with Union Inks, they all are fluid enough that they would run up against the handle making a mess.  Or are we talking about just meager remnants after being carded off the blade?

Just wondering.

Mounted on the wall, with the dowels at enough angle that even when a handle "droops" it is wedged like the bottom one in this pic.

I do scrape them clean, just not wash them if a common color.

Made this out of a MDF strip and a 2x6 I had laying around with a router.  It's sloppy but functional.

we have the hold board with hangers on it for the aluminum squeegees

over a year ago I cut up a couple dish racks and made holders out of it for the wooden squeegees - works pretty well and I think there was a tutorial on youtube for those

for automatic floodbars/squeegees we just recycled some other wood and made small basic shelving about 5"x20" each shelf

[Hegemone]

I use slat wall and 8" and 12" hooks to set squeegees on. Infinitely moveable and customizable. Check a retail supply catalog for slat wall hooks, shelf brackets, ect. And lowes carries painted and unpainted slat wall but it's possible to fine it cheaper if you have better lumber yards.

Nothing personal, but you are just sooooo funny, lol. 

Are those expandable gripper clamps I see holding that device to something?

Then again, necessity is the Mother of Invention 

[Gilligan]

Well,

Well, I guess I should have tossed in the disclaimer that this was just after I built it and I just did that to test out the proof of concept to make sure it worked like I thought it would.  That isn't the final resting place of them. LOL

That was one 8"(?) strip of MDF that I zigzagged through so there was virtually no waste.

Is that green soy based spray foam insulation. I started a company a few years back installing that. It is really good stuff and is cool to install and watch expand.

[Shawn (EIP)]

Gilligan, have you been snooping around my shop? Mine looks almost identical. But I have my laying flat on a table not mounted.

[Gilligan]

LOL.. no snooping... just took ideas from a few "commercial" ones and went at it.

Not sure if it's soy based... it doesn't like UV I know that... but it's great stuff (not actual product name)... it was $2400 bucks to do walls and roof of a 30x30 building (roof is about 32 linear feet).  I would have liked to have done closed cell but they wanted 5k+!
