Constant force squeegees (Manual) tips?
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:18:46 AM »
I may be over thinking this but is there anything I will need to "change" (like I had a "technique" to start with) when I use these guys?

Gerry... you sold them to me... now teach me the gotchas/tricks to them! :p

OK thinking about the screen coating thing......... the rubber part of the squeegee, you do actually touch that part to the screen correct?
SORRY I JUST HAD TO ;D.

Touche'

Fair enough question. LOL

Hey, I jumped in this thing reading how to print on the web.  I've visited my buddies shop and I even watched them coat a couple of screens... but I was watching for speed and pressure at the time, so I missed the subtle IMPORTANT parts, like how to properly use the tools. LOL

That being said, there DEFINITELY is some subtle parts to pushing/pulling a squeegee that's hard if not impossible to see in videos... I wish I had a fraction of the experience you guys had.

You are pushing correct? I found you need a little more angle using them.

Good thing about these is one can get them at the same places they'd find baker's racks for their screens!
