Speedball 4492 10" Fabric Squeegee for Screen Printing

Large, study and very well made. I love Speedball products. This squeegee worked perfectly with my new screen printing frame. Easy to clean and takes wear and tear with a breeze. If youve been using an old credit card, go ahead and invest in this little guy, it is well worth it. It has a nice little punch out hole to hang from the wall when not in use. Fits well in your hands and pulls very smoothly across screens. Very lightweight with a nice thick rubber rib for pulling your paints.

I really like this squeegee. It's easy to use and is very durable. Great product

I only occasionally screenprint. I have my own screen and inks, which I occasionally lend to people.One such occasion it came back sans squeegee.No one fessed up regarding who had taken it or broken it or whatever, but the fact remained that I needed a new squeegee.After looking at a bunch of cheaper ones (similar to what I had previously owned), I decided to purchase a higher quality squeegee. When I received it, I was not disappointed. It looked to be well-made, it was properly sanded so I would not be at risk of getting nonstop splinters, and the rubber squeegee part was secured with staples on each side.I ordered the 10" squeegee because I have a 10"x14" Speedball screen. It is a very close fit. I think the squeegee might actually be slightly larger than 10" or my screen opening slightly smaller, because this is very difficult to sweep over in one even pass. I solved that problem by just passing the squeegee over at a slight angle.After a few uses, I have noticed that the wood at the rubber squeegee part is starting to pull away from the rubber. I do not know if this is my fault from washing or drying it improperly, but I would hope that something that is going to be around water consistently would not warp as this one is doing. That is the reason I am only giving this four stars. The squeegee is still secured, but this extra gap makes it easier for inks to get caught in there and then ruin a later print. I might fill the gap with some E-6000 glue to prevent this from happening.

I really love this squeegee. I am learning silk screen printing and it has never failed me once. Its large enough for the designs I make and presses the ink correctly through the screen. I highly recommend it.

Works best for thinner, waterbased inks. It has a round edge on the squeegee side that can build up and hold alot of the plastisol inks.We did screen print with both ink types and had good results.**

This works perfect with the Speedball screen. Easy to clean & feels good in your hand when using

Super easy to clean and held up for years

Squeegee was slightly too big for the 10 x 14 screen. It has to be drug at an angle.Also, if you are using this for emulsion coating, it falls short of being very useful. Meaning, it will spread a THICK coating of emulsion. It spreads it on TOO thick and unfortunately ended up wasting a whole screen and a whole bunch of emulsion.A solution to this is, use a credit card or a proper/finer edged squeegee for emulsion application.
