#31 REASONABLY FINE ART TALK: Secrets of the Squeegee

A deep dive into the lore of the squeegee with special guests Wayne Schultz from Ettore Products and artist Beth Bathe of Short Dog Studio! How did Charlie happen to start using the squeegee an art tool? How widespread is the practice today? And just what were the innovations that the legendary Ettore Steccone wrought that upended the staid world of window-washing and ushered in a "New Deal" for cleaner windows in 1936? Ettore squeegees are the only way to go. For your first squeegee, you want to order item #60006, the 6" Pro-Grip Window Squeegee. This is an inexpensive plastic-handled squeegee with an AWESOME silicone blade (unlike the rubber blade of the standard squeegee, the silicone stays sharper longer and remains impervious to the oils in oil paints, which start to break down the rubber after awhile). Once you decide that, yes, the squeegee is, indeed, a magic tool, spring for item #1324, the Master Brass Handle. Unscrew the channel (the tube in which the blade sits) from your plastic-handled squeegee, and attach it to the brass handle. The brass handle is balanced amazingly well, and sits beautifully in the hand - this is a totally worthwhile upgrade.
