Review: Squeazy-E Mop

The Art Primo Squeazy-E drip mop has a 2 ounce capacity and a mohair nib which is quite durable, but if yours breaks, you can always get replacements. Just like the name the mop is very easy to squeeze, it has a thin plastic body ( but not too thin) which allow ou to squeeze and get some drips. With the regulator in it was quite difficult to get drips out, and eventually the regulator got jammed and I had to take it our because it wasnt allowing any ink to pass through. This issue will most likely not occur for you i think it was just some rare case that it did. With this mop I reccomend a thin dye or ink to get nice drips Like india ink, Smash Ink, or the Pentel Ink. If you're one of those people who prefer paint then a solvent or water based paints will probably work best. To fill the mop its oretty straight forward and just like any other mop I usually find myself using plyers to get the nib off to save my hands from getting covered in ink, but in doing so you run the risk of damging the nib.

I currently run with an India Ink to keep it thin and Pentel ink mixed in to keep it permantent. The reason why I do this is becasue the Pentel ink is rather sticky when it starts to dry. Unscrewing the cap to my mop can be rather difficult sometimes becaue it is so sticky, it often pulls the nib out with the cap so watch out for this if you use Pentel. If im not mistaken the Smash Ink also dries with a weird grippy texture, my Smash KO marker cap often gets stuck on the marker. The Squeazy-E mop comes with a clear sticker going aroun it that says "Squeazy-E" but it was loud when it crinkled so I ended up taking it off and it didnt leave any sticky residue.

Mine is well used and pretty old, so the mohair nib is more of a no hair nib now, but it stilkl works just fine. You can see some horizontal gouge marks on the side of the nib. Those marks are from plyers that i have to use to get the nib off in order to fill it up. This kind of mop nib style is very common unless you have a homemade mop that uses a felt nib thats just shoved in. even shoe polish mops have a nib that you pull of in order to fill up. If you tend to be quite clumsy with these kind of mops and keep damaging the nib or just lazy with this kind of stuff then I recommend the Molotow Drip stick. It holds 4 ounces and unscrews from the bottom so ther is no need to remove the nib when you're filling up the mop, but the nib still comes out so you can replace it.
