Just had to share this -
« on: October 11, 2012, 01:19:07 PM »
A gentleman who was here last week to pick up an MHM Style Double Stroke Squeegee returned today to pick one up for use on his M&R. He said that his team that works on the M&R machine was jealous when they saw how well it worked on the MHM.

Ladies & Gentlemen of TSB - this is what makes us work so hard to develop these products. It's exactly that which has been a key motivator for the last 20 years. That and of course some food and shelter. And let's not forget some new shoes too once in a while. However - the tremendously positive feedback that our customers relay is at the top of the motivation list. Thanks to everyone for giving these new products a try.

Eric you might want to think about shortening one of the channels just a tick for better angle control. I Beta tested these and they yield noticeably better coverage.

Not to be negative but how do you clean something like that. Do you have to take it apart?

If I had one I would almost never clean it just use it as a dedicated white. If cleaning needed blast it with the pressure washer.

I can see this being beneficial for us those rare times we underbase through high mesh counts.

Not to steal Eric's thunder but it was initially designed for a large overseas shop to print waterbase very quickly with one stroke. In that case it would be easy to clean but for plastisol a dedicated whit would be the way to go. Remember this will shorten your stroke by app one inch and you may need to adjust your image placement.

Tony - the newer design has the blades closer than the one you saw a year ago. There is still a reduction of maximum  image length - but more like 3/4" instead of 2". The blades are 3/8" apart now.

Regarding Cleanup - The only area that is challenging to clean is between the blades. I think that the right kind of brush would work. I used to have one that was long and slender i used for brushing away eraser grit from my drafting. That style and shape but with a shorter and  stiffer bristle. I've seen brushes on the McMaster Carr website that looked like they would work nice.

Hi Pierre:

 I found a brush that would be better than a toothbrush. Go to the McMaster Carr website (www.mcmaster.com) & enter their item number 6906T1 into the search box in the upper left. It looks like the perfect brush. It's 1/2" wide and 8 inches long and bristle length is 1". It's about $7 before freight.
