Squeegee Rack: Frequently Asked Questions Whether you’re running a professional screen printing shop or just trying to keep your garage workspace from looking like a disaster zone, a Squeegee Rack is the unsung hero of organization. Here is everything you need to know about choosing, installing, and using one. General Information What is a Squeegee Rack? It is a wall-mounted or floor-standing storage unit designed specifically to hold screen printing squeegees. By keeping the blades upright and separated, it prevents the rubber from deforming and protects the sharp edges needed for a crisp print. Why shouldn’t I just lay my squeegees on a table? Two main reasons: blade health and cleanliness. Laying a squeegee flat can cause the rubber blade to "set" or warp over time. It also prevents wet ink from transferring to your work surfaces or other tools. How many squeegees can a standard rack hold? Most standard wall racks hold between 5 to 12 squeegees, but modular systems allow you to mount multiple racks side-by-side for larger collections. Installation & Compatibility Will my specific squeegee brand fit? Most racks are designed with "universal" slots (usually around 1 inch or 25mm wide). This accommodates standard wooden handles, ergonomic aluminum handles, and most plastic varieties. Where is the best place to mount it? Mount your rack near your ink mixing station or your washout booth. Pro Tip: If mounting near a washout booth, ensure the rack is made of stainless steel or high-density plastic to prevent rust or water damage. What hardware do I need for mounting? Most racks include pre-drilled holes. For drywall, we recommend using heavy-duty anchors, as a full rack of aluminum-handled squeegees can be surprisingly heavy. Maintenance & Care How do I clean the rack? A simple wipe-down with a shop rag and a mild press wash or degreaser will do the trick. Avoid using harsh thinners that might strip the powder coating or finish of the rack. Can I store wet squeegees in the rack? Yes, but it is better to dry them first to prevent "ink creep" into the rack slots. If you do store them wet, ensure the rack is positioned over a drip tray or a surface that is easy to clean.
