Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use these for screen printing?

I believe they could be used for screen printing, though they may be a little stiff. They are indefinitely lasting.

Is it possible to use these on aluminum tape for hvac?

To make it more manageable? Yes!

Do these squeegees have a lot of rigidity or do they flex a little?

They make a small flex. When used to crease a paper fold, they may leave a small blue residue that can easily be brushed away. I've been using these for a number of years (15). Folding large construction plans has proven to be successful.

It's likely that the formula has shifted
3/5

I used to have an older set of these that lasted for years. I'm an encaustic artist, which means that heat is a necessary part of the process. When I used moderate heat to remove the wax, my old squeegees held up well. Under the same conditions, the replacements buckled, melted, and warped. Is the plastic any thinner now? Is it possible that they used a different formula? I'm not sure, but these aren't nearly as good as my old ones, which are finally giving up the ghost after years of service.

Squeegeeing out HVAC tape is a breeze with this tool
5/5

This is a great way to get a good seal when squeegeeing out certified HVAC tapes, especially on ductboard. This is something I strongly advise any HVAC contractor to use. I can think of a lot of applications for this in the home or elsewhere.

finally
5/5

I had been looking for these items for a long time and was overjoyed when I finally found them. It's extremely useful. They're great for anything that needs to be applied, and I used them for silver tape rub downs back in my hvac days. Tape, tint, and vinyl are all examples of different types of media.

They are of excellent quality and will last for a long time
5/5

Better than the squeegees I get from work! Additionally, they will last longer. Because they're so malleable, they'll also conform to the shape of whatever you're squeegeeing!.

Works
5/5

Only one was required for vinyl installation, and it comes in a five-pack, which is ideal for extras and one that works well enough.

Cheap
5/5

Durable. Simply put, it works. Effective and inexpensive. Durable. Go out and get one. Or three, since they come in sets of three. Whatever.

This is fantastic! In my sign painting classes, I use these to help students burnish their stencils into the sign they're working on
5/5

3M has always been a favorite of mine, and these are no exception. They're also more difficult to lose because of their nice, bright royal blue color!.
