Ive had this before, through wear and tear the BOAB develops slightly rough edges, which the rubber can catch on. You could replace your bucket, but youll probably get the same problem after a while. :-\

The easiest solution that I have found is to identify where on the bucket the rubber is catching, and then superglueing a small piece of old rubber that the rubber in your channel can rest against.

Make sure both your bucket and the piece of rubber are dry before glueing, and use a waterproof glue, otherwise it will fall off in a week. :-[

Hello

Why not use a holster?

John - I don't know quite how to say this to you - but a Bucket on a belt is a holster! :)

It's a game of three halves!

Hello

Sorry, Maybe you dont use the same as me
We know a holster as a looped leather clip.


Does that make sense
Sorry , maybe you're calling it somthing different?

I used to use a holster it was the ettore held two squeeges only.went over to a boab,. ettotre sidekick and should have got this first  it is safer climbing ladders not having to hold the applicator in one hand.The boab holds both squeege and aplicator and the ettore is not as large as some of the others.

I've not had this happen to me but I know someone who *did* complain about it.  He got around it by getting some spare grips that fit on the squeegee handles.  Instead of using them for squeegee handles, he inserted one into the B O A B where his squeegee was kept.  Problem solved.
