New Hunter
hey everyone.
Tom here, I’ve been on the RPF for a long time and I stumbled into Fett territory recently. Not with a Webley (someday) but with an old Paterson squeegee!
I know they’re still available new, but I like using old parts. I found this one and nabbed it from Germany. It’s actually Gray instead of white, and unfortunately has stress cracks at the pin joints. Bits actually fell off when I made the first cuts. It’s norhing that Apoxie Sculpt can’t fix though.
So, after learning how these springy squeegees function, I used a razor saw and metal file to remove the lower parts and the last finger grip. It’s already gray, and has a diferent brand name on it, maybe an aftermarket? Next is to rescue the broken corner and add some adhesive around the other pins for support
