[Guest nautiboi73]

what they already said.

Only scratched on window,. it was a new truck, but I was using co workers new blade and didn't have stainless steel blade in it. opps.

Good tip for knife and cutting, slow as you go, best tool to use and master is patience

[Guest SQUEEGEE]

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.

pluss its fun to snap blades @ your co workers....whats everyone elses accuracy and distance like?

[Guest metint]

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 2

eg..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

And glass quality...

[Guest tint rookie]

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

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.

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]

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!!)
