While other squeegees just ram paint back down the barrel into the breech of the marker, the CP Advantage Squeegee uses a new, patent pending, spiral design to channel paint along the sides of the squeegee where it is absorbed and pulled out of the barrel. In addition to the new spiral design, we have also improved the flex joint with an all new material that is guaranteed never to break. The entire CP Advantage Spiral Squeegee is assembled and packaged right here in the USA!
