Best hard card that doesn't scratch

[Guest chip01]

I am a big believer in getting as much water out as possible during film installation, so the usual procedures includes a yellow turbo to tack the film down, then a pass with the blue max and finally a pass over with a hard card. Obviously I have tried something like a white hard card wrapped in tissue but this doesn't really remove a great deal of water in comparison to a hard card on its own. What is the best hard card to use without a tissue that doesn't scratch the film.

Someone said that a grey Lidco card works well.

Black teflon card works well by itself but all cards will begin to scratch if not maintained by lightly sanding them.

I have been using the TOW putting masking tape on the edge of a hard card with great results.

grey lidco and the blue one .black teflons do scratch. on my grey and blue cards, I have never had a scratch or ever had to sand them or even do some masking tape trick. I just rub them out one the carpet every once in a while.

none, all cards will scratch over time. Maintaining them is the best way.

The grey lidco is my favorite, because it's kind've rubbery but stiff too. That way, it doesn't scratch. I still sand the edge with fine grit sandpaper though.

Also, any squeegee will scratch if there's grit on the edge. Make sure to wipe the edge of squeegees frequently.

black teflons don't scratch been finishing with them for 4 years. just keep em well maintained don't use them for shrinking on the outside. Or just buy a box of em and check your edge every time you swipe.

I just wipe the black card on my jeans after every stroke. After each window I rub the crap out of them on my jeans smoothing them out. Once the black card start to scratch I toss them.
