Life of squeegee
« on: June 09, 2018, 12:46:42 AM »
I have a few squeegees that I’ve used for about 3 years.
I changed one and noticed that the unused part in the holder looks like new.
Can I turn them around or does the material used to make the squeegees deteriorate with time?

Flip it and rip it!

I do believe that the rubber will eventually breakdown over years of exposure to chems and ink, but the rubber on the handle side of your squeegee is good to go.

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!
