Update on the Winged Floodbars
« on: August 30, 2011, 03:44:21 PM »
  Well Rich came thru just like he said, got the winged floodbar today and just intime to run a job with it.
  Ok first thing it wouldn't lock into the quick release holder(it would slide from side to side) they shaved just a little to much off the edges, so I fix that by adding some blue blockout tape in that spot to build the edge back up.
  Did that on the front and back of the floodbar then lock it back in pretty dam tight this time, and it worked like a champ never had to card the white ink once during the hold run( small run 100 prints).  Talk with Rich and he is going to make one more for me, and guys I think we are in business, I really like the design and the wings can be bend in a little or out a little to handle 14 and 15 inch squeegees.

Just more proof that our "bias" works! We only have a very high class of equipment manufacturer here.  Just another advantage to joining The Shirt Board rather than "those other places"   lol! ;D

I would say something like "that's what I hear" , but damn, even with removing bookmarks I still find myself in the dark places from time to time by clicking poorly named links and even a sneaky bookmark (my own fault) for the Intek price list just yesterday! A hasty retreat though!

and people wonder why M&R is at the top!!!  Great work M&R and you guys will love your winged floodbars...like I have said before, I have both M&R and Action Engineering and I like the M&R better due to cleaning of them and ease of use....you would think they are the same, but M&R's just seem to fit a bit better...

Edit:  Sorry, so much I could have said here but I got to stop bringing up old S.  Good job Rich, just goes to show that you do lend help at forums besides your own, contrary to some people's observations.  See, I just can't stop, sorry folks, got a lot of pinned up issues with some "things".

Good man!

You are learning. When in doubt, it's usually better to not post.  ;)

Go out and shoot some targets with those guns you have. That always helps release some tension!!

Sounds like a good idea for this weekend.  The Springfield needs a little action.

Rich,

Could you PM me what the price would be for those floodbars.  I am needing 3-6 of them.  Thanks

As soon as I get the material cost and labor calculated I will do that. Should be as soon as 3deep confirms the one he receives tomorrow fits.

Can you help your slower M&R customers figure out where to find them on the online store? I've looked but can't find them.
