hidding a small gap

QUOTE
I keep a tube of black touchup paint (automotive not flat) around if I ever get a small gap around the edge of a window w/ dots or a black edge (not on a rollup) as long as you just use a thin line it works perfect and dries fast especially in dots around the edge. Of course you can peel it back and set it again but then you take the chance of getting trash under the film. If you do a bad job w/ the touchup you can use alcohol or lacquer thinner to remove it. (dont get too much lacquer thinner on the film)

Super Glue for minor cuts

QUOTE
If you get a minor cut while tinting and band-aids aren't practical because they will get wet, you can always use a small amount of super glue (ethyl cyanoacrylate) to keep the cut closed and clean until the job is done.

Hold the cut closed and apply a very small amount of super glue along the cut and let it dry. Try to keep the glue on the surface and not in the cut. This works in a pinch, but it may irritate the skin, and should not be used on a deep cut.

There is even an antibacterial version of super glue for this very purpose called Dermabond.

Isnt number 1 the same as just using a film opaquer marker made for that specific purpose???

and

I honestly didnt know there was an anitbacterial super glue... that is interesting.

i take the quarter window out of the accord, makes it easy to clean and tint.

Dermabond is good stuff, the ER used it to close up my son's forehead after he and the dog headbutted each other!

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.
