Solar Gard


Recommended Posts

I learned to tint with LLumar and have been using it for the last 4 1/2 years. I recently started buying solar gard and it shrinks horrible. I know many shops around me that use solar gard and I have seen their work and its good but I am dreading I get a new beetle in the shop or something similar. I don't feel confident at all shen shrinking the film. Any tips? I stopped locking it down on the sides of the "H", instead just pulling the stress with my hand and it seems to work a little better. Anyhow, I know this stuff is possible to shrink anything with And its kinda nice to have a something new to conquer but any tips would sure help

Can't you seam a back glass in 2 minutes?

LLumar shrinks better than Solargard. But it doesn't take much to get used to shrinking Solargard.

All I ever use is a Milwaukee heat gun. It works just fine.

he's right if you can shrink film then you can shrink any film! it helps to have a great heat gun!

Exactly, you have got to have a "good wave motion gun". Once mine ever goes, I will be updating to the supposed king of heat guns.

Some people's threshold for pain (in the ass) is higher than others...
