You can also use one of those sticks used to spread frosting on a cake. They have a flexible rubber tip forgot what they are called. Worked for me and you can get it at a local supermarket

Home Depot has them, you don't need a squeegee specifically for "wrapping" only. The ones @ HD are usually used for glass.

Look in the section by the shower accessories. The ones I am thinking of are used to wipe off showers.

Best bet is to look up your local sign supply store; they're in most major cities. This is the place that sign shops go to locally to pick up supplies. Just look up sign supply or vinyl supply on Google. Credit cards work, but they're not great especially if you're wrapping a larger surface.

It appears Advance Auto Parts has one made for tint that appears to be in stock at all the stores around me.

It also appears Home Depot does stock them too. (At least near the stores by me.)

when i was tinting my stuff i went to walmart and home depot and neither of them had it. I used a credit card with a microfiber cloth, but it didn't work that good. I then ordered one on ebay for like $4 shipped and redid the film.

9 years later

Had to register to this forum to post but 9 years later... couldn't find these things locally. didn't want to wait from amazon. the irony, my google search led me to this thread... then to the local sign shop, but they only had plain squeegees. glued an old tee to the edge, should be good to go. Appreciate the assist
