    make your own mate, the concept of the avery one is good and works well to an extent but they dont last long and give me problems when applying unmasked vinyl.

    they certainly dont. The felt wears through quickly. 😕

    We use the hard orange Spandex ones with a piece of Velcro (the soft piece) stuck on one edge. Works brilliant. Velcro can be bought by the metre at B&Q.

    go with the 2" fluffly velcro on your normal squeegee. lasts forvever if you you stick it on nicely, and round the corners of the velcro where it’s stuck to the sides. 2" fits perfect on one of the spandex gold squugees.

    I went to a company that sell and refurbish pool tables and asked if i could buy some felt. The guy had just stripped the old felt off a table and said i could help myself at no charge. The felt wasn’t that worn and when i turned it over to look at the underside it was like new. Now i have enough felt to last me about five years. 😀 😀 😀

    Cheers

    Ewan.

    Hexis sell a similar squeegee far superior to the Avery one.

    it is 130mm long, 30m longer than most squeegees and is very durable with a thick foam pad.
    it is called an Omega squeegee.

    Hexis – 01543 411 221

    Cheers Stephen
