    A fine way to cut blades. I like to use a replaceable blade hunting knife, Outdoor Edge 3.5, on a wood base. A good EDC work knife too.

    Hi Trad-Man, your videos just keep getting so good and professional. I was wondering if I don't need to cut an angle at each end of the rubber or is it ok just to leave it at the original angle you had it after bringing it thru? Also,I have been still using the paper clip trick to snug up the rubber in the channel but after seeing how easy you made it look with a dab of soap and green clip, I am definitely going to try that way. You always tech me something and am grateful to you for taking time from family to help so many of us students soak up your knowledge. Thank you buddy!

      Hey Matt!
      Honestly you are the nicest person I've ever had on my channel, if we ever cross paths I'll buy you a beer 🍻
      Yeah with the rubber you can leave it square at the ends, saves some time and faffing around 👍🏻
      I'm honestly happy to help folks if I can and if anyone has something to share I'm all for learning to!
      Hope your keeping well my friend

    Mmm, from time to time I wonder whether or not I must up my gear. Using a 35cm and 55cm squeegee and matching applicators. What is recommended? A smaller to add and one of 45cm? I have too much fun cleaning windows.
    Also, how to prevent those ugly rainbow marks? I run into it sometimes and frustrates me a lot. I want to give a clean clean every time. Yeah, am perfectionist with it I know.

    • @TradMan
      @TradMan  4 года назад +1

      Tool wise it's good to have a few sizes from larger to smaller. Personally I carry 4 sizes on my hip from 16 inch down to 6 inch.
      To stop getting streaks you need to cut the rubber properly like in the video and the rubber has to be sitting in the channel nice and straight, no ripples along the rubber.
      Also check the ends of the rubber for any signs of wear, if it looks like it has a tiny cut in the ends or any bit missing then pop in a new bit of rubber 😊👍🏻

    I notice you leave your rubber square on the end, I prefer that too, is it because they wear too fast when they are angled? That's the issue I had with angled rubber.

    • @TradMan
      @TradMan  4 года назад

      The wear is just the same for me. Not cutting the angles just saves a bit of time and messing around. Just chop, chop and boom done. Time is money as you know and I don't wanna have up cut and angle 6 different squeegees that I keep around with me haha. I've tested not cutting the angles for over a year and no problems at all.

    • @macgyverbryan1377
      @macgyverbryan1377 4 года назад

      Concerning end angle I still cut an angle, more blade is left. This makes tip flex much less while clearing the frames. The tool I use is a sharp knife cut on a wood surface.
