: I'm the guy advocating plastic jugs cut into epoxy spreaders.

: I find other squeegees too stiff and easily remove too much resin
: starving the glass.

: You can't overpower the plastic jug squeegees, they will collapse,
: which is a good thing.

: I also cut the plastic into filleting tool shapes, finger shapes,
: and small rectangles, and staple
: them onto scrap strips to reach into corners and filleting bulkhead
: panels.

: AND they're GOOD for you, because you have to drink milk or orange
: juice!

: All the best,
: Rob

- It certainly sounds worth a try. Only problem is, I live in Canada and can always get a huge laugh when I'm travelling by mentioning that we buy milk in plastic bags. Oh wait, the missus has a jug of apple juice in the 'fridge . . .
