Squeegee Techniques
Types of Squeegees

- Large and Small versions; are versatile since it is angled and can work very well with curves.

Squeegee techniques
- Pull Method: Most common squeegee method to apply the PPF and can be used for the majority of installation. This is used to remove the majority of the solution from between the film adhesive and the painted surface.
- Push Method: This stroke is used when additional direct force is required. The pushing squeegee stroke is most often used to compress film fingers and remove bubbles. Other locations that could benefit from the pushing stroke are concave and confined areas, as well as edges.
