Wow English Jon,
Very, Very cool…I hold that Scrim-Gem close to my walk as a “Son of Ettore”, and truly see it as a new wave of production !

i find a dangling scrim attracts work “like a fly to poop” - its recognizable to JOE PUBLIC as a sign of a cleaner at work, i insist my lads carry theirs on the hip at all times
other cleaners have them hanging on the ladder, as they drive along its blowing wildly in the breeze ,catching the eye,attracting more custom of course
Awesome. Just awesome.
I still hate mine, but I keep trying to see what all the fuss is over. Hell, someday…
Doing the monthly wash … steady Dange!

I have around 50 scrims - I like to start each new day with a clean one. I use half a cup of the cheapest powder I can buy, without coloring, aroma or added crap & hang them folded like this. Snap wet both sides out the washer to keep the square shape.
Wow Karl,
50 scrims…Amazing, I just bought 3 more so that makes 6 for me…Still I see using the same one for days without any smears, and it still working well ! Them being damp even improve its working ability ! A truly fantastic tool !

P.S. The pictures are totally outrageous, it obvious your a major Scrim man !
Hey guy and gals,
Dang and I met for the first time last friday and talked shop over coffee and doughnuts. First off Dave, “you’re the same happy go lucky kind of guy you present yourself in your videos. You’re the real deal”. And now I understand what son’s of Ettore is all about.
So, Dave parted ways with one of his scrims and handed it over to me. I graciously accepted. He told me wet it, ring it out and let it set for a while. Reason being, you cant ring out enough water the fabric is to heavy. Hang it over your tail gate or something and let it dry a bit. When it feels slightly damp, it’s ready to go. I wasn’t sure about it a first but it word great. It feels like a mix between a huck towel and a chamois. The scrim is a wonderful tool add on. A bit large. I think I’ll cut it in half and sew a new hem so it doesn’t fray. I recommend it.
Yeah me and Josh hooked up and had a great visit, Josh is a really cool and friendly guy
and really knows his stuff about our industry and I see him as a a “True Son of Ettore”.
The scrim I gave him was one I bought from WCR and had already broke in…The point about dampness is so absolutely true, the damp scrim works much better then the dry scrim and as English Jon had said, an old timer had told him about it !
So info from an old timer who’s been down the path is a true way from those who have been there and done that !
Again I have used my scrim for two weeks without washing it, just wringing it out, and it still detailed perfectly without leaving dirty marks while wiping.
Damping it is a step up to it being dry…I like going by what the “Tried and the True”
(old timers who developed our industry) passed down, them being 'The Sons of Ettore".
That’s one quick and easy way to move up in the industry…
Good meeting up with you Josh, your a good man…
Dangerous Dave
Mr D., do you use one scrim all day long? Does cleaning dirt of frames and sills mess with detailing the actual glass??
