how much time and experience do you have? If I can one piece them...anybody can lol2.gif but sometimes its faster and you have less waste (depending on the amount of experience) to do it in 2 dunno.gif

Agreed beer.gif
Yes they can be done in one, but if its easier and cleaner for you to do it in 2, then do it that way.Good luck beer.gif

I did one in 4 pieces, but it was in Huper Optik Drei, and I wasn't about to waste any of that film gasp.gif beer.gif

1 piece windows are king, but sometimes splicing is OK as well

get your film rep off his/her azz and help you one-pc. that Bug. If you do not have a film rep, you might consider using film that comes with a rep*

*rep def. one who represents window film (sales, installation, etc.)

to ervie.... ive been tintin for 3 years i also use sungard shadow line and i did a bug last week in one piece in shadow 38 i love the sungard films i used madico for 3 years just recently using sungard. To me madico charcoal xsr line of films is easier to shrink than my sungard but i also agree with sprinter the heat gun has alot to do with it... and also try heating it on high heat low blow setting..

Well i use the milwaukee Heat gun750oF on low and 1000oF on high all ive ever used.
So any suggestions would be good
Matthew
yeah i use wagner HT 3500 digital heat gun i use it on 950 low heat excellent gun it i heated on 750 it would take forever to shape a back glass the gun is about 50 buck but well worth it.. i also have used the eddy heat gun the red one with the temperature dial on the back but they dont last long at all been through about 4 of em wagner has lasted a while
thatsnappyguy
i did one the other day with global qdp 20 and the red milwaukee heat gun. got it down in 15 mins. also did a 08 vet with the same set up, it took about 30 mins to get it down.

pull method top and bottom on the bug.
dryer sheet the vet.
Ervie
Ya the heat gun i use is one of those $30 ones maybe i need a change. I use what the boss gets dunno.gif






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
