es: RACLETA

Squeegees: have a synthetic polyurethane blade set into a wooden handle and are used for pulling the colors over the screen on to the tile. You need several of different sizes. The blade wears down, gets rounded off and this hinders and can spoil your work and your screen. You can file them down yourself, or ask the firm where you usually have your screens made to have the courtesy to do this. If they don’t, look for another firm.
