A better squeegee----

I was a great squeegee fan until I found something better. The foam squeegee. No, I don't mean foam brush (bad). Cut a foam roller (1/8" cover) in half length wise, then again cross wise, if you want shorter foam squeegees. Use these just like a plastic or rubber squeegee. You've got to try this to believe it. They follow contours and soaked excess epoxy to move elsewhere. I use foam roller covers from System Three. Jerry
