Darkroom film squeegee
The Adorama Plastic Film Squeegee with Rubber Blades is built for photographers who process 35 and 120 film formats. Soft rubber blades clear water from wet emulsions without scratching the surface. The tool handles negatives up to 4" x 5" and speeds up drying time for high-volume work. Its ergonomic shape gives a secure grip during repetitive use.
Fits standard darkroom workflow
The squeegee replaces manual blotting or smaller rollers that leave streaks on large sheets. A white plastic body resists chemicals common in developing tanks and stop baths. No power, mounting hardware or extra accessories are required to operate it. The single-piece construction means there are no loose parts to lose in a wet sink.
Capacity limited to sheet film width
The blade width accommodates 4" x 5" negatives and smaller roll formats in one pass. Wider panoramic sheets or specialty formats exceed the coverage and need multiple strokes. Rubber edges will wear after extended daily use and are not user-replaceable. The tool does not heat or force air, so drying still depends on ambient conditions.
