98 integra BG

Fighting an INTEGRA BG. I must be over shrinking it.. Because it just wont lay up on the inside...

ANY THOUGHTS.. I don't have much auto experience. This is the first 98 integra I've done. I'm down to the BG, any one want to stop by and use my film to show me... I'll pay you...

come down to ny ill shrink er up

LLUAMR ATR 35 all around. I'm fighting the top corners shrinking, then, when I get it, I transfer to the inside and I just can't get it to stick to the inside, The corners won't lay down no matter what I do... And if the corners are puched down, the whole side edge lifts.... Good thing is, I have it for a week. But damn, attempted twice with the same results.. WTF????

BTW, soap, dry, H-pattern, tape the sides, heat..

Try not to shrink it perfect, leave few small fingers on both sides, it's ok.
Apply the film and after squeezing most of water, use a heatgun from inside of the back window and get rid of small fingers left on both sides. If you pop the side panels, would be easier.
Don't get hot headed, and just have a fun!!!!

Thank smile.. I'm fairly relaxed about it, but I'm also self taught with the help of this board and people like you. I focus on FG, but at this time of year I'll take on anything.. I've give it another whirl tomorrow. Worst case I'll take my film to a guy who has awards for beatles at sema in Niagara falls and pay him to do it. He'll laugh at me but hey, we all had to start some where...

Good to hear you have positive way to do things.
As long as you are not stressed, you'll be alright!

sounds like your over shrinking you have to heat er up on the out side the lay it done with hard card and paper towel

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't recommend taking a heatgun inside anyones vehicle unless you know exactly WTF you're doing....
Heat it from the outside, but not too much... The adhesive on ATR isn't as aggressive as I'd really like to see, but like the others said, don't over shrink it..

You're right Shady, but if you pop the plastic cover out, there is nothing to burn. Specially for that particular vehicle it is safe to use heat gun inside of the back glass. I think he was over shrinked the film, because he was trying to finish moulding it all the way.
It's only a recommandation anyway, some dude can and some can't. . . . . . .

Thanks for the helps guys

I am finish shrinking it prior to install...

Let us know how it turned out.

I took the car to THE BEST TINTER IN CANADA (no seriously, wins tint off every year.)

He taught me some tricks and got it done for me. I learned a lot.

THANK YOU MIKE >> TINTWORX NIAGARA FALLS.

What did u do on the matrix?

I didn't do it. So its up to TINT WORX 905.356.8066 to disclose his secrets. BUT IT CAME OUT PERFECT..

i like to sneak a little matrix glue on those tough edges and the integra needs it any way. problem solved

Me w ill put some black vinyl if it is real bad. cut the film at the dot line clean and warm uo the dots the vinyl is softer and layyyyyyyyzzzzz on down with a SQUEEEGGGEEEE

Well I can tell you that there wasn't glue or vinyl added. And the job came out PERFECT!!!!!! Unfort. Its his method that he told me he doesn't share with too many so I respect that and won't post it on this forum but the # is 2 posts above if you want to call him...

Id be interested to know what you did on that integra....im out in hawaii so shouldnt have too much of a chance of stealing any of your bus. haha

Well if he didn't glue or vinyl then he must of sanded the dots.
