Removing the Second Layer Options

[OCC]

Ok had this old pos maxima in today that shop dpwn road tried to remove old purple bubbled up tint, they peeled the first layer off and of course second layer stayed dont know why they didnt try to sweat it off anyway customer wanted to save rear defroster, so i took old scraps of mine placed them all over the glass, blue maxed crap out of it, then heated to make sure it was dry, then proceeded to sweat it off came off clean with NO problem

we hit 32 degrees to day, cold as %&$#, thanking the boss for heated bay to work in.
first car in the morn 98 trans am r&r bg purple film air bubbles threwout the film,
baged the bg. the defogger worked very well. soaked the old film 2 times with the pink car kem,
shrinking the film for extra heat, worming the glass
busted out 2 guns heated the bottom and the top for a half hour, pealed great! no prob,
bg took 1.5 hr striped and tinted taking my time
started using the elmers glue stick, better than the matrix magic glue.
