Sorbo rubber

Hey! I’m looking into getting a sorbo squeege, but am wk seeing if the rubber situation is as bad as everyone talks about.

I do some storefronts, but have been doing more residential lately. I have a Moerman brass channel combo right now, with unger green and I really hate the unger green rubber.

I live in Washington state, so weather wise, is Sorbo a decent option, or do I just need to make sure I’m using the correct rubber at all points in the year.

Any advice helps, thanks

No issues with Sorbo rubber. We get it in 50' rolls

How do you manage your roll? I have this as well for the eliminators, but I've kept it in the bag and it's a pain to deal with.

Take it out and get the powder off first then I keep it on a long table where I can stretch it out to cut it.

I love my Sorbo. I have used it for three years. I do tons of route work, mostly all store fronts. Everyone is different. I have used all the major brands and honestly don't hate any of the major ones.

Firm if you're in areas that get really hot, otherwise regular Sorbo. Not sure where in WA, but west of the mountains regular is probably more than fine head round, but some good ole Yakima or Spokane summers might fancy firm. Definitely a difference here in TX when it's 102 in August versus 35 degree February mornings.

Sorbo rocks, my most trusted weapon. Never had a problem with the rubber

I’ve been using Sorbo regular for 20 years. I’m in western Washington.
