I need a new squeegee rubber should I buy 3 twelve inch rubbers or one strip of thirty six inch rubber and cut in 3, what should I do?

[niceandclean]

The 36" rubber would work out cheaper, but I am really lazy, so I would buy 3 12" rubbers! Think of the time you will save not having to go find a sharp blade and cut it!!

Buy the 36 as I find that the 12 need a couple of mill off em anyways otherwise your going to have water n soap all over your edges. Check wagga out on youtube and find out how to dogear, saves loads of time.

Red or Blue are daft colours for a window cleaners bucket, someone may kick it or trip on it. It should ideally be bright yellow with a suitable warning on it.

You don't need a window cleaning bucket, just pop to B&Q and buy one of their 99p orange buckets! The small applicators fit in just fine, but you will need to dip one half then the other when using bigger applicators!

Are you on a wind up!

+ 1. 

Why not get five different colours, then you've got one for each day of the working week

More evidence of wind up:  36" rubbers are cheaper than 3x12".  Why would you want to buy 3?  (Ignore Nice'n'Clean - he's twigged the wind-up as well )

Sorry guys just having some fun, but some of the questions that get asked on here are so stupid it makes want to scream.

[wfp master]

mind safety goggles &  gloves when cutting the rubber.

Check with your insurance to make sure you are covered to
handle and cut rubber.
Hope you have carried out a risk assessment on the dangers of rubber
cutting.
Before starting to cut make sure you cordon off the work area.

Perhaps safer to stand on something non-slip while cutting.
Not sure if anyone has got some sort of mat you could stand on.
Yellow is probably the grippiest colour.
