    Do you mean a standard hard squeegee used for sign making or a rubber squeegee blade as used in screen printing?

    The cheapest squeegee I stock is from Cherwell Sign Supplies, its about 40p, but it is cheap. I give them away free with graphics to customers.

    A decent squeegee like a 3m Gold will only cost a couple of quid and lasts much longer, longer still if you use silicon sleeves. Worth the extra money for a decent bit of kit. I use felt squeegees mainly, again less than a fiver, but I find them more versatile. I use about one a week, then once they’re done, they’re good for building little towers with on the work bench… um, maybe thats just me though 😳

    Cheers, Dewi
