Full Version: cutting squeegees

I have found the easiest way to cut a squeegee is get your knife into the blade part and then rock the squeegee back and forth, not the blade(olfa) and go to your desired length and shape.
Give it a shot. You can keep your digits safe.
Try it on the floor though.
Just rock the squeegee nothing else. smile22.gif

Tip I got from TD.com (Squeegee himself I believe Flaugh.gif )was to use power tools. I have a little band saw that works wonderful. orngbiggrin.gif Used to scare the crap outta me when it came time to cut a fresh smoothie by hand. I buy the long whip without the tube handles (never have used those in auto installs ) and cut um to my own desired lengths. Works good on those yellow bondo cards too when I cut those in half diagonally. Those didn't scare me as bad I just kinda scored them a couple times them break by bending. Teflons are a different story. Very fiberous and don't want to break so easily.

i usually make a pattern line then once i start the cut i have one of my employees bend the part thtas being cut down so it becomes tight makes a faster cut hopefully you dont slip with the knife or it willl gt ugly quick

I put one end of the turbo in a vise and bend the squeegee down. then if you just touch it with a blade, It'll slice right through. any angle. I like mine with two angles thumb.gif

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
