contact your rep....there's a reason it happens. Excessive stretching of the film during manufacturing? :coffee Maybe metint will show up and can clarify it more. He would know. I've had a couple rolls of HPCharcoal do it...but it never has affected the film in the long term.

:dunno During manufacturing the film does pick up a stretch, this is fact... sometimes 'curl' can be neutralized when laminated to another layer... a single ply would not have that option. They usually check film for curl before it goes out, if it displays a curl that you speak of, it would not be considered sellable material and trashed. Sometimes it could happen to only a portion of the run and show up in rolls out in the market, yet displayed no curl when checked boxing 100 footers at the plant. :lol2

Like Blade said... it has no effect on the long term life. If you find it too aggravating to work with, send it back... ask for a different roll or lot number in replacement. :dunno

the only company I experience of rolling is from lulu, they're bronze film mostly, rolls like a mofo, nr true grey no problems here, used fora short while but so far no problem. :dunno

This makes sense... bronze is a very slow mover so it sits in inventory and can pick up a curl from its winding on the core... even more so, if the distributor or dealer does not air condition the film storage area. :lol2

      Lucid Air- tinting issues

      I'm half way through tinting a Lucid Air and just thought I would give you all a heads up. The rear doors on this model have screens which are in the way. Even if you tint with panels on, it will be a problem. There's a wide rubber molding that is also in the way. Add in $$ for time and effort.

      Low angle haze

      I've never been asked for any kind of cert. Of course I probably sound like your average salty installer that's had enough of everyone's crap.

      Low angle haze

      I've been ordering here, filmnow.com. Shipping to CO is pretty quick. I usually call to get a 60" cut down to 38/22 rather than just ordering online.

      I reached out to global, info@global email. Do they have any sales requirements, or certification requirements? We'll see how long it takes for them to reply. Or does someone have a local rep near Denver?

      Best place to learn window tint ppf

      Ppf is going to be the easiest for you to transition to coming from detail and being familiar with car body shapes. Tinting can be alot more challenging to get right in a detail shop, even for an experienced installer. Taking the class from Xpel would probably benefit you in your position because it would (1) give you brand support for ongoing install questions. (2)becoming a dealer would probably be easier after having gone through their training and beginning a professional relationship. (3) likely give you access to a protected product area. Ask first to make sure that access will granted. (4) you would most likely be added to their list of installers on their website if you are accepted as a dealer. For someone just starting out the dealer/marketing support would be helpful, even if you pay a few dollars extra as compared to taking a random class and whinging it. Once you've been at it for a few years any solid brand/product will do, however, some prefer the dealer model for the obvious benefits and build their buisness around it. You'll find what works for you after you've been at it for a few years. Good luck and post any install questions you might have once you get started. This is a really good/helpful community here.
