Speedball Craft Paper Squeegee, 9-Inch

I was expecting the plastic red squeegee like what comes with the Speedball screenprinting kits. In my experience, those are the best to apply photo emulsion. However, the squeegee I got was actually a higher quality one with a rubber edge. Since Ill still be able to use it, Im keeping this one. But just know that youre not getting whats pictured.

I bought this as my first ever screen printing squeegee because I had bought Speedball ink to use so I figured I would just stick to the same brand as I was new to the world of screen printing and wanted to be safe. Turns out this is NOT the best sort of squeegee to use. I found out because I needed a smaller one which came in a two pack (one this size as well as the smaller one) and those worked like a dream. This one was impossible to use since the end of it is a flimsy thin rubber situation as opposed to the others I bought which are a more firm (but still pliable) plastic sort of material that were also a LOT thicker. Based on the gazillion YouTube videos I watched to learn to screen print I realized nobody uses a squeegee like this. They use the ones with wooden “handles” and thick “plastic” ends

Super easy to use and just the right size! I’ve recently started screen printing at home, and this squeegee has been great. I’ve been able to product nice clear designs.

Works great!
