question about V shape squeegee

Post by paulwong416 »

Hi there,

I would like to ask if we could do a pull stroke when using a V shape squeegee blade? If yes is it different from a square edge squeegee push stroke?

thanks

You would have to experiment with that to see what works best. There are many squeegee blade edges and for textiles we mainly use rectangular cut edge.

However a "V" cut probably works best at almost 90 degrees so a pull stroke may be in order.
