Is the white frost film applied just as easy as normal film? Is there something I should know about that is different? thanks
tintdude
pretty much the same
Custom Effects
Little thicker, and doen't dry as fast, be carefull in the corners not to but little creases in it, the film won't want to stick.
Hope this helps!

no film does when you crease it

I know, what i should have said is, it is really noticable on frost film, if you crease the corners (stands out like a sore thumb)
TINTFX

Custom Effects
That's all good FX, You did make sence though, at least you made me rethink what i wanted to say

I occassionally use Llumar white opaque film and the liner is kind of thick. The film is pressure sensitive so if you are doing a large window, you might consider pulling back the liner and spraying the adhesive first before you reverse roll it. When you squeegee, you will be doing so on the frosted side which is not smooth like most films. Just make sure it is well lubricated when you make your strokes :jerkit Oh, I mean when you squeegee it

seems to scratch alot easier than regular auto tint, make sure your tools are sanded and smooth...

If you crease a corner, I have been able to press them out using a heat gun in low setting. I keep the gun handy especially for black out. Nothing pisses you off more than finishing a job and crease a corner on black out.

Tinitman you carry a heat gun on commercial jobs? YOU DA MAN
Tinitman
Rarely use it. Just when I am in a hurry and crease a corner on black-out, or security film. If you can fix it, why replace it.
tintdude
Man, that's a good idea, many a time i wish i had a heat gun on site, you rock tinitman!
Protint
I hear ya. I just never thought of bringing one along.

I'd be afraid I'd treat it like at the shop, chuck it around, burn the couch, the dog, the kids...
tintdude
with my luck, i'd over heat the glass and thermal fracture it
Tinitman
All you do is warm it up a bit. Enough to press out enough to make it tack. I keep it at low setting and keep the away from the glass.
