The replaceable blades are a thoughtful touch—I’ve had squeegees die on me before, but this one should last. It pulls the water off the film in one clean pass, and my negatives have been drying spotless since I started using it with a wetting agent.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the replaceable blades work—they make it easy to get a clean, even squeeze without scratching the film. Paired with the wetting agent, it leaves my negatives spot-free and ready to dry.

Running it under warm water for a few seconds before use really helps the blades glide without scratching the film. The squeegee itself feels sturdy, and even after a dozen rolls the edge still looks perfectly straight.
