I think i know what your saying but i cant be totally sure till i see a picture  :-/

Denis,when you `slightly`,thats like saying `how long is a piece of string`. If the
`dog-ears` are only as you say `slightly`,how is the rubber held in place?? I used
to use brass end clips but its not  neccessary. Also what channel lenths is everyone
using? below a certain lenth `dog-earing` is`nt neccessary perhaps.It is true that extra
pressure is needed,but the longer the channnel the better it is for a `dog-eared` channel.
Then rubber type comes into the `equasion`.I use Pulex soft where lightness of hand pressure
is essential for a `detail` free finish.Also Sorbo 3x4 rubbers.Heavy hand pressure with these
rubbers??? No way!! Any comments.?

I don't suppose that the channel length is important as your only affecting the edges. I used an old one because I didn't want to experiment with good gear.

The channel I tried it with is a 12" Ettore stainless steel one and as for "slightly" my bends are only about 2mm towards the glass. I'll try to take a picture to attach to a post if that'll help.

Good Photo Fez.Does the rubber  hold securely in the channel as its seen in the photo?
If your getting a `detail` free clean like it is,fine,but I could`nt do it,especially on windows
with u.pv.c frames and rubber mouldings.To do it,do you find you have to come down the
glass slowly holding the squeegee as perhaps you would a paint brush when painting a window.?
If anyone has any problems next week with `dog-eared` channels and not getting the finish they
would like go thru` earlier posts and `track back` for solution solving.
P.S.  Its a pity that there is`nt a `Dog-Eared` channel stand/booth being exhibited at the Leicester
trade show thats coming up.

I tried dog earing my squeegee channel today and I had a little slow start but once I got going I was considerably quiker than usual and the showers didn't slow me down either.

What a great idea this tip has been.

[Glen]

Exactly how many mm do you bend the corners forward?Also how much rubber overlap do you leave or do you cut it flush with the end of the channel?
When you say cut the rubber at an angle what do you mean?

[stevekennedy]

I bought a sorbo squeegie when i was in Norway last year. They have this feature built in.

[sham33]

That squeegee u bought in Norway, whats it like to use? Any 1 know where i can get hold of one?

I've gone through 2 channels now and the results are no good. Dont want to mess any more channels up, but im willing to buy that one in the picture.

[stevekennedy]

They are imported into Denmark. I think you can mail order them from there. It is very well engineered. I haven't used it much because I have loads of rubber to use up for my other squeegies and the Sorbo is not compatible with other systems.

[g_griffin]

You can get the Sorbo squeegee from the Window Clean Centre. They are expensive but look good.

[stevekennedy]

Excellent. Do they have a website?

[g_griffin]

Steve,
         No, I don`t think they have a website yet, but give them a ring and they will send you a catalogue.
   The number is   0800 413512.
