drying out fingers(rear window)!!

skanlan
I use a blow dryer to dry out any finger that popped up on the rear window.doing it from the inside beats heating the glass from the outside then crawling back in to pushem out.Cause taking a heat gun inside is a no no I learned the hard way.I'm talking mostly about the 2 doors where you can't hold a heat gun with one hand on the outside and pushing the fingers out with the other..blow dryer + slammer wrapped with blue shop towel..or just blow dryer + blue max..Just lay em flat and hold position while the dryer heats from behind film tool!! for da 1 man gang!!

I just use a piece of tint scrap to shield the rear deck IF I need to do any final hits after the film is installed....heat the outside nice and warm then a 1 to 2 second blast with the heat gun and it is done....

I never have any fingers pop up in the rear, after doing a properly thorough dry shrink. I think I may have had one last year tho!!!

I'm the same way....proper shrinking and squeegeeing You shouldn't have any fingers. Maybe a tiny "water" finger at the bottom, but I've seen other tinters chasing 6" long fingers, and I'm like WTF? crazy.gif

Warm up the outside of the glass. Pull seal back and wick it with a hard card thats is wrapped.

lol2.gif jsut shrink it more, yes do get fingers from time to time but very rarely after shrinking all the film properly.





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.
