two 49"x42" windows on a store front. Customer picked SG Architectural
SS 20.

i have only done one flat glass job, but it was at tint school and i
had someone to look over my shoulder and tell me when i was
messing up and what to do next.

Any words of advice?

take your time and you'll do fine thumb.gif Oh and try not to p1ss off the tint gods Flaugh.gif

Exactly, take your time, make sure you leave the place clean when finished.

Do the show and tell walk through when done. That is the most important part.

With silver, make sure the corners are very clean.

As far asa the tint gods, a minute of meditation prior to installing will please them.

SS20? Hope they aren't thermal pane. Fbigeyes.gif If it's Stainless steel 20, that'll put alot of stess on just about any glass.

that's exactly what I was thinking OT...check the absorptance on the film. We never install anything on a thermal pane if it's 50% or more.

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.
