I think it turned out quite well for 10 mins worth of effort.

Looks great! Good job. 🖒

Yeah great job.


After closer inspection, ours looks more like a COMB than a SQUEEGEE. It's actually frayed at the very bottom.

I just shave the fray off once a year with a sharp knife.

Using a sanding block and some 300 grit works wonders as well.
