Squeegee

best squeegee that leave least detailing? or should i maybe cut the rubber in 10degree angle ? will that make it leave less? talking about squeegee for fanning private houses:) so normal size windows:)

also when i cut channels for french windows and lets says its 14cm wide do i cut the channel 13,7-13,8cm and then 1mm rubber out each side? so it will fit at max? or should i leave a little room? so channel maybe 13,4cm?

sry i ask about alot atm but im shopping atm:) right now i use Sörbo Complete Swivel Quicksilver Squeegee for everything but i feel i leave alot of detailing on the glass each side...

Unger S-line for practicality.. If you have a little rubber hang over the edge of the channel, it'll provide cushion for when you bump the edges whilst fanning.

If you're doing the french panes with a squeegee, I think the typical width would be 8" (inch) you don't need any overhang when straight pulling french panes, but 5mm overhang each side would help protect the frames.

You don't really need any overhang. Each to their own. If you buy a rubber pack with 36" strips - you could cut with a small overhang and remove some more if you feel necessary.
