Seam factory edges?

can factory edges be seamed?

sure. unless its a choppy cut on the edge of the roll. when i seam, i like to over lap the edges about 1/16" if you "invisiseam it, it tends to show light.

Since this post is in the FG section, let me add one important piece of information in regard to seaming FG films.

Industry tolerances permit a +/3% difference in the VLT from one side of a roll to the other. If you intend to seam a window, keep track of which side you are butting up to which side. If necessary, be sure to "cartwheel" the film and keep track of left and right. If you seam the right side against the left, it can look like it came from two different rolls.

very true

you hit that right on the head with that one howard i learned that the hard way many years ago but once you know it you will never forget it

I see the film change toward the edge a little and usually overlap it as far as possible. Then I "invisi seam it" or however. Its far less noticeable when I cut the overlapped pieces. Its just a hair line. I really wish that it wasnt a part of tinting altogether. I really dont like any seams auto or flat.

Good looking out Howard!
