Guest SQUEEGEE Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 One thing that no one else has mentioned is that be sure the glass surface is clean. Not just run a quick squeegee over it clean but free of all dirt and debris. All you need is to do is get a little dirt between the tip of the blade and glass and you've got yourself a nice scratched piece of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tint rookie Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 pluss its fun to snap blades @ your co workers....whats everyone elses accuracy and distance like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest metint Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'd say the actual degree used (10-40 )isn't as important as keeping it as consistant as the pressure used..it's a balance between the 2eg..you could use a 40 degree angle and press less or a 10 degree angle and press a little bit harder..as long as the "feel" is there 1. pressure 2. length of blade 3. angle held at [*]188662 And glass quality...

Guest tint rookie Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 that and if you lift up with your pinkie towards the back of the blade rather than push down with your index.. youll be less likely to scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINT Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I've had my fare share of scratched glass, deep ones! easy on the hands buddy! easy , just lay off the force on it to much and youll be ok. I snip mine after each door/glass I cut, back window I snip like 2 times or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[*]253123 On a full install, I will usually go through 2 full blades, sometimes 3 on say a suburban or the like where I'm making more cuts. Those blades only come to about $.25 cents a piece, and to me it's worth not getting yelled at for scratching a 500 dollar piece of glass or better!!! I haven't scratched a piece of glass since I started snapping blades like it was going out of style. Yeah, I may cost the shop 200 bucks more a year in blades due to my snapping fetish...but the guys next to me that I can remember scratched 3 rear windows last year alone....so which do you think is better?

tintinater Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I don't know if glass is getting softer or olfa blades are getting harder but lately it seems like I'm scratching more than normal, there always seems to be a faint scratch left behind barely noticable (by the way- G35 quarter glass, ultra soft!!)
