 I have better luck squeegeing with my fingers than no squeege at all. I
have never scratched film doing so and have ran thousands. I think if
there was grit you could feel it with your fingers. Using traditions
rubber or sponge squeege would be death though. I used to scrath film
that way. The zone 6 cult I think used to sell a little sponge for nine
hundred dollars that you could use to carefully sponge down your film.
Not my particular lifestyle.
