How to Use

Replacing your V-squeegee blade is quick and keeps your crack sealing operation running efficiently:

1. Remove the worn blade from your MARSHALLTOWN V-squeegee frame
2. Clean the blade channel to remove any debris or leftover sealant
3. Slide the new red silicone blade into place, ensuring a snug fit
4. Secure the blade according to your squeegee’s fastening system
5. Test on a small section to confirm even material flow before full application

For best results, pair with properly heated crack filler and maintain steady pressure during application to ensure consistent coverage.

FAQ

How long will one blade last?
Blade life depends on usage and surface conditions, but silicone blades are known for extended durability, especially in high-temperature applications.

Can I use this blade for cold crack filler?
Yes, but it’s specifically designed for hot pour applications where high heat resistance is critical.

What temperature range is ideal for application?
The blade itself handles up to 392°F, but always follow your crack filler manufacturer’s recommended application temperatures—typically between 300°F–400°F for hot rubber.

How do I know when to replace my blade?
If you notice uneven application, streaking, or reduced material control, it’s time for a replacement.

Is this better than neoprene blades?
For hot crack sealing, yes. Silicone handles significantly higher temperatures, maintaining flexibility and performance where neoprene can start to break down.

Why This Works in Any Area of the USA

From Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles to the intense summer heat in the South, asphalt expands and contracts constantly. That movement puts stress on both the pavement and your tools.

This high-temp silicone blade is built to handle those extremes. It maintains flexibility under heat while resisting wear from repeated passes over rough cracks. Think of it like a quality windshield wiper—when it’s fresh, everything flows smoothly; when it’s worn, you’re left with streaks and missed spots.

Whether you’re sealing cracks in a northern parking lot after a harsh winter or maintaining surfaces in high-traffic commercial spaces down south, this blade ensures consistent, professional-grade results.

Keeping a replacement blade ready isn’t just convenience—it’s insurance against downtime, wasted material, and callbacks.
