My bitch with Sorbo channels & rubber

Ha ha, Oh yeah? I think Romney and Obama both OWN $0rb0 and farm out it’s production to nigeria, china, and cuba. :slight_smile:

As I already posted, this was inside Gar joke.

I believe Chris and Karl appreciated it.

along with our Olympic uniforms. Bastards!

So I’m lazy in the past 4 years, what are the ups of the 4 edged rubber. Outside of you BOAB wearing away a spot one one side of your rubber. How is the rubber?

Glen, Sorbo Channels and Rubbers work just fine. So do Slayers and Ettore rubber that goes in them. I am getting really tired of all the Sorbo bashing. He is a quirky and eccentric fella for sure. You will find if you use his rubber that is cut to size already and not on the 50’ roll, even a clown from Mo can use it effectively.

If your tired of the sorbo bashing your on the wrong forum Jake.

Have had used these 4 sided/edge squeegee rubbers a while now.

That is all that is used now. [/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

They wear as well as any have had no problems in relation to nicks or uneven wear.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

The size channels they are used in are 12, 22 and 34 inch.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

Not real sure if you can get them over there.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

Seen they are in [/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]Canada[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3].[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

So would think that some people may of the tried 4 sided edge squeegee rubber.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

So if you are out there, give us bit of feed back on this squeegee rubber.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

Sure there would be more then a few people that would be interested to hear from some body else. [/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

Instead of me going on about it all the time.:rolleyes::D[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]

You got better things to do then argue with someone who will win anyways. Go read to Zeke.

Ouch! Ok, hold on, look at me. How many fingers am I holding up?

Hi Soren,

My Name Is Glen Holzman from Glen’s Professional Window Cleaning, LLC. The last time we talked I was in Salem, OR. (It’s been 5 years at least)
Had it not been for their automatic time out feature, I had a response to one of the earlier questions, that included your past deals, good and bad. You made a foolish choice for your loss of rubber sales, if that is you. Although you have no idea what I’m talking about as my researched article timed out.

“To my knowledge Sorbo are storefront products and were designed as such”- Not according to your videos, and yes your silicone rubber is only for regular store front maintenance. Your silicone rubber is still leaving a residue, that on commercial can’t be picked up, well, at least for a while. After 5 to 7 years give me a call, window cleaners, and I’ll tell you what to do to take the water spots off.

Blessings to All

Chris & Alex-is there a way to stop the message timing out? I wrote a quality long term response, and the page timed out–should I write it somewhere else and copy it? Or this may not be for your forum?!

Thanx

glen

Bless you, not exact copies. I have been in the supply rooms of almost all of the suppliers, the quick silvers are missing the groove. I wrote a 3 hr explanation of sorbos past, it timed out. This sucks as it was good window cleaning history. He started his work with Ettore. I’m done for now, I don’t want to be cut off.

Larry Hello,
I’m an ass for interrupting you, but hello. It’s good to see you!

Hey Glen

Sometimes the server will time out if it’s a really long post… It’s kinda rare but sorta depends on how busy the server is - was at that moment.

You should re type it out… It’s good window cleaning history. I’ve read all about it in back issues of AWC.

Clear View,

"You will find if you use his rubber that is cut to size already and not on the 50’ roll, even a clown from Mo can use it effectively. "

Thank you so much for your wisdom, for truly I am a clown! It’s obvious that I have no idea as to what is going on, thanks for your instruction to a newbie!

How about a clown from CT.?

Most of my story’s come from the narratives of people that I met in the industry, through out the country, I was never that in to the magazine (maybe a year or two). Soren has a good history, an American history for sure. I am not a fan of how he is ending it. As I said, I wrote a long post on this, and how he could have made more money just by letting all the rubber makers make their version of his rubber for a percentage. He kept on with the channels as the answer to his well being. Everyone has their opinions…

My opinion, for what it’s worth…

Wow, must be the heat. Everyone is testy. It wasnt meant as a dig, just a little fun. CT clowns not allowed to like or use his products. So sorry Art.

I would have like to have read that and have been a victim of the time out many times until I just opened WCR in a firefox window instead, now no probs.

So this is a silicone based product? not rubber?

Something is up

15+ years and the same piece of garbage experience over and over? this is not a user issue over 15 years, many belt setups, etc later.

one thing HAS BEEN consistent: it’s garbage length of useful time before water lines appear, THAT has been consistent within hours, over 15 years of intermittent use.

Amazing this is still bought and on the market IMHO.

So silicone is the problem, commercial, storefront, whatever, nicks within hours (not from my belt or holsters, or at least never a problem from Ettore Soren rubber in the Sorbo channels) is unacceptable, and 15 years of consistency with this in my experience and several different employees experiences over the same 15 years is not coinky-dink.

Am I irritated? Sure, cause I got a mis-shipment and have been dealing with this garbage for the last 2 months along with my employees who are also complaining ad nauseum.

Hello! (McFly!!) Samuel, you aren’t out there, here on this forum, but you are out there somewhere and I CANNOT be the only one on this planet so dissapointed with this garbage for the last 15 years.

CHANGE YOUR FORMULA!

MOVE FORWARD!

IMPROVE!

signed,

happy camper, (but not with this garbage product)

if sorbo products are so bad why has WCR coiped sorbo channels with there pickel and slayer channels tell me that.

You didn’t interrupt this Larry one bit, Glen.

Long time, no hear (perhaps it was the long move…)

How are you and yours?
