Quick question Chris. How do you recommend breaking in the scrim. I got the Unger scrim a few years ago and I washed and dried it several times and it seems to leave a lot of lint behind when drying edges. Never used dryer sheets etc…when drying it. I’ve heard drying it breaks it but it seemed to end up leaving a bunch of lint.

Air dry a scrim, same goes for microfiber and washer sleeves.

What’s the difference between that and a huck

Scrim is made from Flax fiber. A huck is a blue or green woven towel, surgical towel. Hucks are sold by the pound. I think you get about 20 hucks in five pounds.

What makes a scrim better though in the way it functions

How about those Xero Fish Scale towels?! Could they be even better than Scrim?? I’ve only used them for a couple of days but I’m in love.

I just got back my Scrim and Fish Scale towels from the tailor shop the other day. I had them cut them in half and hem the edges.

Very absorbant and dry very quickly. One Scrim can last all day compared to using dozens of blue huck towels.

I use Scrim and Fish Scale towels for detailing and I use the blue huck towels for wiping frames and sills.

I have been using my Samurai BOAB for a few weeks now, does anyone have an issue with rubber nicks?

@JaredAI

looking forward to using my fish scale towel when it arrives next week .
Might have to take mine as well to the tailor if they are to big as well.

A rig like this !
I just need to rob a bank.

I’m actually working on the Partition 2.0 right now to address some of the issues. It’ll be more durable for when people drop the bucket from height and it’ll have a removable divider.

I’ve gone through like 6 different versions testing, tweaking, changing and I’ve got the next version coming in this week to test. BUT this is the most simple design and I think it’s going to be The One.

The divider will actually be made of a rubber material to better protect squeegees. I still have to test it but like I said, I’m excited about this version.

Was this problem ever fixed? I am still getting nicks. I really like the samurai boab but I’m probably going to have to switch

Pipe insulation?

I was hoping the manufacturer would have a word about this.
