Dot Matrix Solution!

I have been using a product for 3 years now and have never had a problem with peeling down from the dots. I use the Headlight Sealer solution on the dots. It dries clear and fills in all the dots for the film to stick. The sealer is from Liquid Resins, it's inexpensive and only takes a couple of minutes to set. It dries clear and is waterproof.
I'm sure any brand headlight sealer will work, but I've never used any other.

does it brush on? spray on? what's the stuff you use? got a link?

You apply it with a sponge paint brush - .25 cents each at hardware store. Or just a folded up Towel. It won't drip everywhere and is not slimy.

i dont know.....the kiddy's blue glue aways worked for me. but i gotta give u credit for thinking of another product to use. hey what about clear silcone? i was thinking about trying that but i wanted to get some insight on it first.

I've tried silicone but nothing really sticks to it. It repels water and was really messy and took hours to dry.

Is it odorless ??

Yes! There is no smell or at least a non offensive smell. You just brush it on...let it dry (1 or 2 min.) and then tint over it. It dries clear and has stayed clear on my car 04' Mustang for just over 3 years.

is it part #960?
1oz bottle for 50.00 and change?

19.95 for 1 oz. does about 40 - 50 rear windows.

can you give me the part #?
thanks

There is no part# for this product it is called - 1 oz Headlight Restoration Clear Coat Solution.
Just click on the headlight link and scroll down.

gotcha
thanks dood

DOOD! thats genius. Same theory as the BlueGlue, but neater!!! Ya got my vote so far if it comes up for TOTW!!!!

sounds good. I bet you could use it on all windows not just back windows at the top.

I will be ordering some.

Oh yeah! I'm on it!

not bad .. only $2553.60 a gallon.

isn't this the same thing as 3M Edge Sealer (p/n 3950)? more or less? Clear resin, about $13.50 an 8oz can Used to use the 3M stuff back in the early 90's for dots all the time. When Filmhandler was just a tool seller, they used to sell the heck out of that stuff.

So charge like you would for vinyl! $25.00 extra per car...Not bad either! Or you could call them and get a better price buying in bulk.

Good point, I'll try some CPFilms edge sealer on my own car to test it out

orderd some today, will report back once i try it on a 08 civic coupe......man i hope it works.

I will be interested in your results Titan. I am not sure if they ship to the UK.

looking forward to the result

Anybody remember that stuff " do-dot "? Had a brush in the lid? Smelled like contact cement?

We used to sing the song... Guess what smells like airplane glue? Do dot, Do dot!

do you let the top of the film hang and dry first, like with the blue glue? Could you explain a little more how you apply it. This seems like a great tip

Paint it on, let it dry, apply film - Done. 2 coats works better.

this the stuff ..................dang that sure is a tiny bottle

So squirt some on a simple bristle or foam brush, brush it on, let it dry then spray soap solution and install like normal?

I usually wipe the dots with rubbing alcohol let dry. Then apply a small amount with foam brush covering the dots. Shrink your rear window as the heat will the solution dry faster then tint as usual. it dries waterproof and fills in the gaps of the dots. Sometimes you may need a second coat for thicker dots.

This sounds like a cool idea

hows the taste compared to blue glue?

we've had good luck on these 08 civic coupes using nothing & doing nothing to prep the dots using qdp install film like normal then relifting the film only on the matrix re-wet and squeegee using only a yellow rubber wrapped in a towl. It gives you that released look everywhere like it lifted away from the dots (no complaints yet) but atleast its not sticking here & not there. We've never had good luck using glue on honda matrix dots.

whats it look like when your done, does it look white or is all of it black looking as if you used the blue glue??

It finishes Black as if there weren't any dots at all. I've know I'm going to get told some things after I say this but here it goes. I tested out Glue sticks, blue glue, clear glue, etc. against the headlight sealant using UV lamp and the sealant never cracked or flaked, all the others did. I believe the reason is that the glues don't have a UV inhibitor to stop the break down of the glue.
The glue may work well in some areas where the sun isn't as bad as in Florida, Texas and the southern states.
This is in no way saying that the glue method doesn't look good (from the outside) I'm just asking how long will it last?
