In Response To: Tools: RUBBER Squeegee (danpery)

Anybody can make a yellow plastic thing, sell it cheap, and call it a squeegee, but that doesn't make it a good product. Most of them, even the ones that they sell at auto body suppliers, are way too rigid. The 3M spreaders are a dream. They have a very fine supple edge that doesn't go bad like the cheap ones, and the body flexes well, but it has great memory and springs back to shape. Once the epoxy dries, flex the squeegee and it will peel right off. It's easier if you actually DON't clean it up after you use it. If it has to do with abrasives or adhesives I have found that anything other than 3M tends to be a waste of money and a frustration.
