: I just finished my first ever glassing of a yak hull and found that either I

: them in the house after I was done and they cleaned the carpet. The ones I
: have were purchased at a marine supply store in Seattle that sells
: fiberglass material and supplies, so I figured they were the real deal. A
: set of three plastic doo-dads with a beveled front about 1.5 X 5, 3 X 5,
: and 5 X 5.
: Is this what do you pro's use?
: It almost seems like a real window cleaning squeegee would work better if you
: could find them in small enough width's.
: Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated

Were you using it for the initial epoxying of the hull with glass?

How did you sqeegie?

What "sucked"?

I tend to apply my epoxy with a roller or brush and then sqeegie (to remove excess epoxy) and then maybe tip out if it looks to need it to remove bubbles/sqeegie lines, etc.
