I like the idea of sharing trade secrets here ... just wasn't sure if that one was covered.

make sure you put that thing on low mang

Just be carefull not to torch rear panel fabric with heat while you deep-fry hair.

I've been doing this for yrs and NEVER have burned the fabric ..it's just using your head when using your heat gun is all

If you've burned fabric in the past or haven't tried it because your afraid to , doesn't mean it can't be done successfully and easily

I dont want to melt anyones wtf ? pull the deck

If your going to melt a deck then yes..you better pull the deck ..all the other tinters that have been doing this technique for yrs .

Told ya ..these threads about this topic ALWAYS goes this way

I do it all the time. if you do it right you will never know you were in there.

Ill try it on my next junker tint

A wise car to try it on for a first time




**hint** For first attempt ever, have gun on low and pass quick ..better to have no effect rather than too much effect ..the worse that'll happen that way is you have to make a pass or 2 more or slow the gun up a bit . By the third time you try it..it'll be a 2 second chore once you know the speed and heat to have your gun

what they forgot to tell you -is soak the deck with gas real good also

Then once its good and soaked..it's time to send Willie in the back seat to show you how its done

Thanx willie ( did you think i was really going to try it )

dont worry I made my donation to the volunteer fire dept did you?

Hell yea but they stoped giving the stickers out that say I made a donation put mine out first

I do one of three things if i refuse to pull the back deck..1. scortch it with the heat gun....2 use packing tape around the bottom edge of the deck...Or grab a piece of scrap film off the floor and use it int he same manor i use tape

Maybe it's better said to first timers to try it on a carpeted speaker box. lotsa fuzzies...give em' a shave with the heat gun. just trying to help the general peeps here is all.

great tip, been using the to do this for years. Remember this though, the t-shirt say's
"YES it goes on the inside - No you can't WATCH!"

Willie, instead of using the gas ( customer might complain about the smell) just take the torch: let some propane leak out in the rear deck area then light er up and wala! You can get all the fussy's from the deck, the sides and along the top in case there is fuzz there too. ONE THING to remember is close your eyes and cover your eye brows with your other hand while you strike the igniter........... wala!!!!! fuzz is gone uniformly in one motion. BE SURE and cover your eye brows or this tip will be called the Mr Rogers propain method......... heeeeeee heeee I think I should make a video for YouT, ya dare me?.......

All jokes aside that's a great tip, honest dude.........

I have been doing this for years myself. I have melted the carpet a little once or twice, but like anything else in tinting. You have to practice your technique, before you get it right. You cant be afraid to try new things, because your worried you will damage something. Look at how much damage you can possible do to a car. By simple pulling it in or out, of your shop.

i cover the back the deck with plastic and gaffa it down, also not original but effective.

HAIRSPRAY DUDES! ! i Where have you guy.s been? I thought everyone knew that o'l trick.

hairspray on a rear deck? are you stoned?

no drunk

i used my heat gun just to get the stray hairs on the deck to settle down but it only a split second in the main area like at the bottom of the window where the deck meets the window

Try hair spray...

How about just mist the rear deck lightly with Your slip solutuion and reverse roll, instead of spraying Aqua-Net all over someones car?

PREECH IT BOOMS!

TABERNACLE!

WTF did this guy bring this thread back from the dead for?
