Where to buy double beveled and triple durometer rubber?
« on: May 22, 2018, 03:06:43 PM »
I can get the triple durometer locally, but can't figure out where to buy the double beveled, and if I know not all brands are created equally either.  Where are people buying theirs?

For a bevel, it's hard to beat a smiling jack or one of Joe's other blades. 

We found some application for beveled blades but mostly run triples with a square profile here and even some single duro. 

Moving from four chopper style to self leveling heads changed the outlook a bit here but not much.  We haven't tried a jack or other bevel yet on the s.roque machines.

Where do I actually buy Joe's?  I googled a bit, but couldn't find anywhere to buy them, just discussions about them.  I'll check out fimor.  Thanks!

Thats Joe's website.  You can contact him through the info on his site.

He sells the Blades direct last I checked.

Fimor and Serilor are both good brands for squeegee blade.

we bought some from Sonny here. Don't use them much, but they work fine.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Gotcha.  Funny enough I bought some of his inks today, but didn't see the blades listed anywhere so I assumed he no longer sold them.  I'll give him a call tomorrow morning.

he does not really sell them any more. . . He still makes some here and there though.
