Claim 0:
1. A squeegee comprising:
an elongate base member having left and right ends and a longitudinal center;
an elongate blade secured to the base member and having a forward edge protruding forwardly from the base member;
left and right handles secured to and extending rearwardly from the base member at respective longitudinally spaced locations such that the left handle is secured at a first location between the left end and longitudinal center of the base member, and the right handle is secured at a second location between the right end and longitudinal center of the base member;
wherein the left and right handles extend substantially parallel to one another;
wherein the blade is substantially planar, and wherein the handles have respective longitudinal axes that are oriented at an angle of approximately 40°±10° relative to the plane of the blade;
wherein the base member is sufficiently rigid such that its two half sections extending from the longitudinal center of the blade member cannot flex or bend about an axis transverse to the blade when force is applied through the handles during use of squeegee;
wherein the base member comprises:
a top member and a bottom member secured to and substantially coextensive with the top member; and
wherein the blade is engaged by and between the top member and bottom member.
